EFE Valve

[Tomeal]

I'm going through the exhaust parts I've accumulated from my parts and it seems I don't have an EFE Valve.

For now I want to run stock exhaust cause one of my parts cars had mostly new exhaust.

So I need to fill that gap where the efe valve goes. I may try some yards to see what they have. I not concerned for it to work, just needs to be open.

Or if anyone else has an alternate solution, I'm open to ideas!

I think Napa has their own heat riser part # but the GM # 5234845 EFE

Check at your end that this is the right size and hole spacing to go with the exhaust manifolds that you are using. This is a spacer, or heat riser eliminator, not a functioning heat riser.

I may try this if I have no luck finding a used one.

I don't think that is the correct one, I think the ones we use only use 2 studs

Danser's on 22 in Blairsvill might have one since they had some G's there last time I was there.

Your right, there is only two holes. Thanks didn't catch that.

I may try them today.

These two hole ones are kinda hard to find online. Found one for $40, but I kinda question the site!

There might be a later 2/3 stud set up that works with both the 3 stud truck & 2 stud car manifolds. I'm thinking I have one for my 3 stud set that is like that. I'll have to try to get in the garage to see. This came to me after reading the newer postings.

They are discontinued and now very expensive when you do find one. Best bet is a junkyard or Fleabay. I have used broken ones just to get the housing and then filled the shaft hole shut. One side is flat that goes against the flat exhaust manifold. The other side is beveled for the head pipe to seat against. The eliminator spacer is actually a pretty good fix and $40 is not that terrible a price if it gets you a leak free exhaust seal.

Saw a new one on fleabay for around 50 bucks.

I have two three stud units done the same way in the invintory.
