Hello, this is my first time posting here. This is my first project vehicle, I have a 1996 e350 with the 460/7.5L. I had an exhaust manifold leak on the driver's side so I pulled the exhaust manifold. Anyways, there are 2 tubes coming off of the exhaust manifold. One is the egr tube that goes to the egr valve, and the other (I think) is an air inject tube with a smog/air check valve on it which goes to my air pump. This second pipe didn't survive my work. I cannot find this stupid piece for sale anywhere. I live in Denver so my vehicle has to pass emissions.
This is the only thing I could find with my piece on the internet: Genuine Ford F5TE-9A487-AA 460 EGR Tube • $25.48
The only part number I could find was: F5TE-9A487-AA but I'm pretty sure this is just for the check valve; I need the check valve and tube assembly as in the picture in the link above. On rock auto, that part number just brings up the check valve: More Information for MOTORCRAFT CX1462
If I can't find the piece anywhere, can I just get some aluminum tubing and bend it to fit the space? I know that exhaust gasses are like 1000F or something. Or does anyone have any solutions?
Any help would be much appreciated!
