Re: aren't those hex/allen screws?

Thanks Dave.

Pretty sure from the write-ups found via FAQ and such that they are small flat-head screws. However, good thought-maybe this has been done before and switched to allen head. I'm...

Re: Cruise conrol does not work

Are you sure the vacuum lines (and tees) are good? Mine didn't work when I got my car and I ended up tracing it to cracket tee tucked under drivers side strut mount area (this is on a '96 Avant).

Re: If I disconnect the vac. line to the EGR and pull a vacuum on it, the engine stumbles at idle.

I bought a new EGR...
