here's a picture, I'm looking for the coupling that screws into the exhaust manifold and the female connector on the egr tube.Thanks

you try running a tap threw it that is the same threds as the fittings you have? if its close that you shoud be able to run the right tap threw it and make it work

Let me poke in the garage.

I took the original engine out of my 87 and tore it apart. I am not sure what I did with the EGR tube though. The intake manifold is still in the garage, but the heads and exhaust manifold went to Jersey for another member's engine rebuild. I don't really remember where the valve and tube ended up so I might still have them.

Found the intake, no EGR valve, no tube. Those parts must have been sent to Jersey.

EGR tubes are a bear - I snapped the tube on my Tempo, but luckily had another engine to take one from.. Either way, it was an epic time vampire. I would be real tempted to swap computers in your case. Saw a 88 manual ecm for a 2.9L for sale, but on another forum. They are around.

I saw that one pete, except mines a 4x4 that ecm is out of a 2wd. Not sure if that matters

NEVERDONE86 thanks I only have the one fitting that's on the egr now, I scrapped the manifold with the fittings and half the tube attached. Maybe I can source the fitting at a plumbing warehouse or ford dealer?

AllanD thanks for all the info I'm gonna try to just get the egr hooked up for now until I come across a computer

I have a couple of them for manual trans here, I have a 4.0 now so i have no use for them, I believe I have an 88 manual trans, a 92 manual trans and a 90 Cali MAF manual trans. PM me and let me know which ones you want

the manifold thread should be a pipe thread. If you are going to replace it with a copper tube yo can buy a brass adapter going from a pipe thread to a flare fitting. Then you can cut the copper tubing to the right length and use flare nuts.

hw much you want for the 88 2.9 4x4 manual computer?

It's not pipe thread in the manifold, plus it's metric. Couldn't find anything at home depot that would work
