    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.

    Many thanks for your help. And for the way how to know if it's a positive pressure valve.
