Which Performer Manifold - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I think I'll be ordering a new manifold for my '86 SWB with 350 engine, but I'm not sure which model to order. It's been a long time since I turned any wrenches, and automobiles have sure changed a lot since I was setting points with a feeler gauge. The "EGR" and a "Non-EGR" type manifolds have me a little confused? The truck has a 350 CID engine and will be running a Rochester Quadrajet carb. I've got A/C and it has HEI ignition. My desire is to have maximum streetability. Which one would I want for my particular application?

An 86 model should have @ least federal emissions equipment, therefore it should have an EGR valve requiring an EGR style intake.

unless you dont have to pass emissions, at which point, it really doesnt matter. you've got an 86 C10 with a 350 in it, so its definitely not stock. does it even have an EGR valve on it now?

Doesn't have one on it right now, and we don't have state inspections, so I reckon that answers the question. Thanks
