That's the EGR valve. I don't know how the emission laws are in Kansas, but you might need to keep it.
Also, the Holley 4160 isn't a "double pumper" carb. The double pumper gets its nick name from the fact that it has mechanical secondaries and there is a second accelerator pump to shoot fuel into the secondaries when they open, double accelerator pumps, hence double pumper.
I do not need to keep the EGR. There are no emissions here. I bought a Edelbrock carb and a riser plate. Just got back from the store with it. How do I block off the opening on the intake manifold that matches the EGR plate?
Use an EGR spacer/block off LINK or find a aftermarket "non-egr" manifold
such as the Edelbrock 2166.
Check your local craigslist for an aftermarket non egr manifold.
I think that I got the fix. I found a Ford Truck MANIAC about 15 minutes from my house in Kansas. For $100 I bought a freshly-milled Cobra Jet Intake (Cast). I stopped and ordered gaskets on the way home and I should have installed tomorrow.
The blue is wrong but I'll fix that in the morning.

Thanks for the quick response and the help Mike. Now get to work on your truck! I'm jonesin' for an update to your truck's thread!
Did a lot of work on the rig this weekend. Most of it productive, a lot of it unforeseen (It's been a few years since I planned for a project). I remember thinking on Friday, "Yeah, no problem, quick and easy, just put a carb on it." Well, that turned into the EGR issue, the riser issue, the intake issue, Etc. Etc. Ended up Pulling the old manifold. Pulling the valve covers, marking and pulling the distributor, the vacuum lines, and it looks like I'll be pulling the H2o pump to get that stupid little 2" piece of hose reconnected to the front of the manifold. My wife can't figure me out, even my teenage daughter asked me "Why is it you get something then you
have to take it apart and start upgrading it?" Oh, well, it's what makes me "Me" I guess. Here are some photos to show the SLOW progress.
The manifold and related pieces all in fresh ford blue.
Brass wheel to all the original hardware.
Sprayed the internals with a little 30w while it sits a couple days.
This one just proves that I did in fact pull the negs off both batteries.
To blackjack33 who broke down my issue and got me back on track. He not only posted the link of what I needed but also sent me pics of the actual carb with the actual connector from his desk. Too cool and thanks for all the help BJ33!
Just so you know, on a C6 the kick down linkage isn't critical. If it's not hooked up, all you lose is the kick down to passing gear.
The C6 isn't like some other transmissions where the linkage also adjusts line pressure, that's what the vacuum modulator is for.
On the C6, you aren't going to burn up the tranny if you don't have the linkage hooked up
I found the kick down attachment that I need, thanks to Blackjack33 so I will just hook it up as designed. Next, I need to see if I have 1 or 2 piston calipers so I can get some new pads on this soon to be finely tuned beast! lol.
Sorry about the lack of pics here but, I do in fact, have the proof that it happened. It's a sickness actually.
Thanks in no small way to Blackjack and Mike, the engine was up and running with the new kickdown attachment.
The repair started as: Need to rebuild carb.
Turned into:
1. New carb
2. New Intake SCJ off a 429
3. New H2O pump
4. New Heater Core (not by choice)
5. Dash clean-up (Must have removed 10 yards of spaghetti by now)
6. Stereo and door speakers
7. Resurface and clean floor pans and coated with truck bed liner
8. returned the grille to original look
9. Brakes
So, 5,6,7 may not seem like they belong to a thread called "Carb Help". But I know that each one of you has gone to repair one specific thing that turned into 3 things, that turned into 5 things!
With a blown heater core, it just seemed logical to remove the entire dash and fix those things that were bothering me. The Original Owner had a circa 1977 Kenwood security system in it with a valet switch, kill switch, motion detector, full sized antennae stuffed under the dash (For the remote LMAO), A red blinky light, and other assorted hacked in components. All gone now and wiring returned to factory.
He also put in a wiper delay that was hacked into the wiper motor... Gone.
The Kenwood cassette player, amp, door and rear speakers (Mounted to the cab wall) are all gone. There was a passive crossover screwed to the floor under the bench... sheesh. All gone and cleaned up the holes.
The wiring under the dash has all been restored and spliced correctly into it's original configuration. I cleaned all of the heater/ defroster ducts and replaced all the weather stripping on the ducts for semi-airtightness. I put in a new fan motor as I was already there, the motor cost $18 and the old one chirped and squeaked.
I sanded down the dash, filled the holes like the valet switch, the random toggle next to the glove box, the red blinky light next to the toggle, etcetera. Put 3 fresh coats of gloss black on the dash, glove box, and ashtray cover.
Cleaned the instrument cluster, replaced all of the bulbs, wiped the plastic cover on both sides and cleaned and greased the heater controls with dialectric grease. Cleaned and greased the inner wiper actuators with dialectric grease as well.
Replaced all the bulbs in the dash. The 2 under the dash, the ashtray, the glove box. (Although I lost the trigger switch for the glove box light like an idiot.
The lining of the floors seemed logical to weatherproof/ soundproof the floors as I had to take it all out to get the antifreeze out of it anyways. It took 2 quarts of the rustoleum do it yourself truck bed liner to do 2 good coats of my single cab. MY sheetmetal was all good so the prep work was straight forward.
As I kept walking back and forth to the truck through this process, I kept looking at my grille. It wasn't right, it wasn't bad, it just wasn't right. The plastic grille inserts were painted silver. All silver. I'm guessing the original owner wanted to clean it up but didn't want to take the time to paint it to the correct standard. Well, yesterday I painted it to the standard. Minor prep as they were clean, just had to mask off the silver stuff and make the black parts black again. Turned out nice.
I would and should have had the motor timed and tuned by now but the heater core blowing up put that on hold and you can tell by my list that I have done everything but what I had set out to do. I love every bit of it though. Next up: New (Very basic) stereo and 2 door speakers. I only want it to have a radio and maybe Sirrius (For NFL games). I like that you can get stereos with no CD players now. I just want to hear the news, plug in my iphone, etc.
I will post pics soon of the progress and the hopefully finished product. Sorry for the long post, thanks for reading.
You're correct.
I'm going to play MD for a minute. You have contracted a disease known as "Well, while I'm here, I might as well...". This is a disease that is easily spread among any given group of people. No one is quite sure how it spreads among a group. It doesn't seem to require direct contact with another infected person nor contact with bodily fluids or air. However, consumption of alchohol seems to intensify the symptoms.
The symptoms are an inability to finish a project. It manifests itself as a compulsive need to "keep going" on a project. Once the patient finishes what he or she started, they move to fix something else nearby, even though there is nothing wrong with said nearby part.
A secondary symptom is sometimes the patient becomes irritated or frustrated when things don't go as planned, this is especially true when working on factory air or trying to repair a PO's "creative" wiring.
This disease usually is benign, but when carried to the extreme can actually be fatal, financially anyway.
There is no known cure.
