Ported EGR Valve

This valve is operated by a vacuum signal from the carburetor EGR port which actuates the EGR valve diaphragm. When vacuum is increased enough to overcome the diaphragm closing spring pressure, the valve opens, allowing EGR flow. Amount of flow is dependent on pintle or poppet position which is a direct result of the strength of the vacuum signal and valve type.
