Don't know how this turned into a political thing, all I wanted to know is if my truck would run without EGR.
I don't give a potters **** about what the government says about my truck. I can assure you that Hillary emits more gas and hot air flying from here to there than my truck would in two lifetimes!

I'm sure the government can control you through your EGR system-
I can assure you I'm not a sheeple. I have removed emissions equipment. Take a look at the 84 F250 in my gallery- that truck started out with an electronic carb and computer controlled timing on a 351w with a cat. The only piece of emissions equipment on the 300-6 in the truck was the PCV valve-
BTW, do you remove the government mandated PCV valve as well? I mean, all it does is keeps oil from dumping out on the road-

You are a full of crap! What the hell else do you have to do other the block the EGR or remove it? Nothing that's what. Quit with the BS information.

EGR, etc, - - That's part of the reason I bought the old '75 F-250 SC in the 1st place. NO emissions stuff. At the time 3/4 T trucks were "trucks". The only vacuum lines on it go to the brake booster, dizzy, and the gauge on the dash. One of the few 360's to come from the factory w/ a 4 bbl (600) carb. That (and a few other things) will change when I rebuild the engine.

Other 360 advise: If you take it apart, make it a 390 and put some compression and a cam in it. More power, same amount of gas. Lots of posts here on the how-to.

Nicely put > turn a 360 into a 390, change the rotating assembly. If you stay with 360 pistons you get a higher compression 390 (taller pistons). I've got Flowmaster long-tube headers for the rebuild of my 360. >said to increase the HP by 10-15. I'd like to have the engine dyno'd to about the same HP as inches when it's done. Such are the dreams of an old man. [ my grandaughters need a truck that will take them camping quick ]
