Help please! I try to find a EGR valve for my 1989 Caprice Wagon VIN Y. 5L. carburetor. The EGR valve must a positive back pressure valve. I try the Google search but the one I find do not mention if it's for VIN Y or if it's positive. I will need some help to put me on the right direction to find the elusive EGR valve! Many thanks.
I am fairly certain that the 307 EGR valve is the same for both VIN 9 & VIN Y, positive backpressure and all. I've replaced one in a 1989 Cadillac and what came from the parts store worked just fine.
Using your wagon's description, this is the valve you need: https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/...-car-1989-chevrolet-caprice?q=egr+valve&pos=0 The item that tells you this is correct are the two small holes drilled in the base and gasket, which are part of the positive pressure feature.
