I'm pretty sure this was on the stock engine from the 87 TI wagon...compared to most I've removed, this one fairly clean, as the wagon was originally from Florida and rust-free. The rubber line is supple/flexible, not even close to being hardened.

Is this something sorta hard to find in good shape, or should I recycle it as planned?

Could cure somebodies NOx and part throttle knock problems, 'specially for those in emissions test areas. Could get $20 for it I would imagine. Though there are some aftermarket versions available for under $40 but I'd imagine they're made in China, so this would be more desirable and correct for a restore.

I normally ditch them, but I'm not an eco-nut. Depending on the car you might have to re-tune it.

I trashed every one of those I had.

All my cars are TII spec, no need for EGR. :)

EGR w/back pressure transducer... looks to be in good shape, too many times those will be heavily encrusted with rust... Which means anyone trying to fix it will probably destroy it just trying to remove it...

I'd squirrel it away, but than again, I have a hard time letting good, working parts get destroyed, especially if I think I might have a use for it in the future.

Can't find that here in that condition.
If you have space, keep it if not don't trash it!
If you could buy a case of beer if you were to sell it, I'd say it's worth to keep it.

Just the fact you were able to unscrew the fitting from the swingvalve is impressive.
