EGR port
Is there a fix I can do to cover my EGR port under my carb like JB Weld or Permagasket for the time being until I can get/ afford a new intake manifold? Strapped atm but need the truck to run(to a degree). I undertsnad whatever i do will probably sacrifice with some leak but need a temporary solution to this extra 1*1/2 inch hole near my plenum. Thanks

Ya, it was gone. When I took off the 600pfm Holley to rebuild it the base plate was completed cracked at one of the bolt flanges and the egr port was only boogered up with a gasket and some orange sealer material.

If you provide all of your vehicle's information, some folks here can look to see if the original spacer plate is available through an obsolete dealer. Sometimes they pop up on eBay. That's the right way to fix it. Alternatively, you might try and find some sort of high-temperature phenolic spacer, but I'm not sure if that affords any more temperature range than JB Weld.

Set up
its a 76 2wd f100 with a transplanted 351w(unsure of year) a c4 tranny and dual exhaust. I know nothing about internals as for the camshaft or headers if they are mated to correct engine. Any more info I can provide will be gladly given.

If JB Weld doesn't stand up to exhaust, don't you think wood certainly wouldn't? Even the thread in your link pointed out how terrible of an idea that is. Did you even read it?

JB might not hold up because it may expand and contract at different rates and might cause the bond to fail.
Hardwood has been used over the years. Some hardwoods can hold up to extreme environments.
The black walnut on my 400 has been on for quite some time now and it help dissipate the heat transfer to the carb. I did not think it up,, an old timer suggested it to me, so i tried it and so far it is working great. Now for the record,, I am not commuting in this truck so it do not get to high temps for hours on end.
Trust me, i looked for a store bought spacer and there are issues with some of them sealing properly at the carb.
Chris,
