Topic: I think EGR issues are causing my '81 not to pass smog. Ideas?

[Redcheetah]

I recently bought a somewhat built 1981 (22R) longbed to wheel. I went to smog the truck and it failed miserably on two tests. The smog operator tried to help me out as much as he could but it just wasn't happening. He ran a test on the EGR using a hand held tool that was supposed to kill the engine when applied. In my case, it revved the engine to the redline. He thinks that the hoses ran to the EGR are not applied correctly. I know this is a broad question, but can someone shed some light on the correct assembly of the EGR so I can check to see it is done correctly or any other ideas on what might be going on? Thanks

Thanks - I just noticed a thread on that at the intro to the forum that I had not seen before for some reason.  Any idea what page that is on in the fsm?  I can access the online version but I don't know which of the 1025 pages houses my info.
