It looks like the newer manifold is the same from pics, minus the flaps and it's axle....even has mounting holes for the IMRC...was going to mount it where it normally goes, and just have the little arm control "nothing" looks like the ports are the same, uses same gaskets I think. It obviously...

CE light came on, checked codes, got 34, and 88. So far I replaced EGR, EGR control solenoid, and the little sensor that rides on the back of the EGR, for the code 34, still throwing that code. For the 88 (dual spark) I replaced the crankshaft sensor, and the ICM, and put new wires on - still...
