Hi folks I have a very clean 87 Thunderbird that failed smog. I was told I need to replace the egr vacuum amplifier it sits behind the alternator, ford no longer shows the part or even a part number does anyone have any info. that could help. I was told if the car won't pass smog the state would buy it, I just don't want to see that happen, it would end up being squished.

Take it out spray it with brake clean put it back together put a couple of bottle's of extra strength rubbing alcohol in the gas tank and if that doesn't work sell it to a private party that'll keep it from being turned into a paper weight.
