454 EGR fitting

[bownispar]

Hey guys,

Does anyone have a part number(or source) for the fitting from the manifold to the EGR tube? I've sourced the tube, P/N 10222061, but I also need the fitting from the manifold to the EGR tube...mine got all messed up during removal. Any help finding a replacement would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Take a picture of exactly what you need, i'm in the middle of a 7.4 to 5.3 turbo swap in my crew cab and wouldn't have an issue with sending my old one.

That link is the best I can do right now as I'm out of town. Inside the red box you'll see the very thin nut that threads into the egr tube from the manifold. That thin nut is what I need. I've already ordered the pipe, but that fitting has been very tough to find...I'd gladly pay you for your troubles. Thanks so much!

$10 Plus actual shipping sound fair? I know I just had it off too, to service the injectors.

I'll take a wild guess; the fitting got damaged while trying to get the EGR tube's coupling nut loose from it?

With that narrow area to grip, it gets tricky getting a wrench on both sides in order to break it loose. There's a certain adjustable wrench that Channel-Lock makes which has narrow jaws. That's what I used, with a normal open-end wrench on the coupling nut. A scrap piece of 2x4 laid across the valve cover helped with leverage - this gave the adjustable wrench a "stop" point, leaving me free to break the coupling nut loose with the other wrench:

I know you've already got past this point (obviously) but may help someone else doing this job in the future. Channel Lock's name for these adjustables is "xtra slim jaw"
