4.3 engine, 260,000 miles. Runs rough at idle. Oil pressure gage jumps all
over.

Replaced PCV, and no obvious vacuum leaks.

Just went out an looked. Looks like I'll have to take a full day. Probably
have to pull off the fuel lines, and I'm not even sure what the wrench size
is for the two bolts.

Larger than 8 MM, smaller than 10 MM. 9 just isn't quite right. Wha'ts tht
make it, 3/8?

Anyone done one of these? What hints can you give me?

Do good work.
It's longer in the short run
but shorter in the long run.

Took about an hour. The bolts were 5/8 flare for the gas lines (use a
crescent to hold the fitting at the carb). 3/8 for the EGR.

Managed to break the vacuum line to the EGR, but I've got some heat shrink
tubing to put it back together. The bolts came out OK. Gook up the orifice
(read the list to find out which one to use) and the gasket with Permatex
#2. The black stuff that doesn't want to come off my hands.

Seems to run a bit better, now.
