AMC 360 to CJ5

[CJ Runner]

Hi all,

I'm new to these forums and had some questions about swapping in an AMC 360 into my 1978 CJ5. I bought a re-manufactured AMC 360 and mated it to a t-150 transmission. I have the engine and transmission in the frame and I'm starting to bolt everything on. I rebuilt a Holley 600 CFM 4160 (4bbl) and now I'm hooking up emissions equipment. I'm unsure of what EGR valve I need for this engine. The engine I had in my CJ5 was an AMC 304, but it didn't have an EGR valve. The two EGR pictures in the link show images I pulled from a repair manual for a 1978 Jeep Wagoneer w/AMC 360 4bbl. The in the lower right corner is one I found online for AMC V8's.

Now the picture on the right shows a combination EGR valve/back pressure sensor. The picture in the lower right corner shows a separate back pressure sensor w/the delay valve in between the delay valve and EGR valve. Here are the two EGR valves I found from NAPA and the third is a link to all the available EGR valve OEM #'s:

The picture in the upper left has the EGR going to a TVS (this is in the air cleaner correct?) and then to the delay valve then to the EGR CTO and then to the carb. This is the delay valve I bought:

Hopefully I didn't put you to sleep w/all the writing, but any help is appreciated.

Do you need the EGR to pass a visual emissions test? If not, I wouldn't waste the money, time, or effort to put one on. There are EGR caps out there to block the passage off.

I'm not sure of the routing, none of my AMCs has had an EGR for years. :-| :-|

You might post up over on the Full size board ( www.ifsja.org ) to see what they think.

if you dont need it dont use it. They will cause nothing but a rough idle and poor power when they fail or stick or open up. If you need one think about the rest of your emissions system and what every component is designed to do and how it works with the other components in the system to decide which one you need or talk to the emissions shop and see what they require.
