Default Thermal Valve To EGR 1973

Hello, I'm looking for one of these for a 1973. These screw into the front of the intake manifold on the passengers side through the water crossover. My lower port broke so I'm looking for a replacement. I'm looking for the Black plastic style, not the metal that was also used at that time. Please PM me with what you have and pricing with shipping to 91739.

Thanks,
SD73

These are rare in either material but wanted to know why the plastic instead of the original metal type ?

I have some pictures of '73 motors that (supposedly) had them originally, and the date code on my original was about a month before my engine was produced which makes be believe it was original. I do have a metal one on now that I've replaced it with though.

What's your theory on those? Mine's a CA car, I'm not sure if that makes a difference.

The plastic one I have is 3 131, but I've always been under the impression that these are replacement units and the originals where the metal housing ones ?
Never checked the numbers of the metal ones that are in use but will this weekend.

Brew, do you want to sell that one?

I wonder if they were made by two different suppliers? I've got a pic of an SD in a crate from the factory with the metal version too.

Sorry, but a friend has already asked due to one of his cars sporting the later Ls-2 intake which has no valve. I found him the correct intake this past winter and he'll need it to complete his car.
Sorry but only have the one,
Brew

Hey SD73,
PM what you end up getting one for so I have an idea for fair market value for my buddy.
Thanks,
Brew
