74' EGR Block Off Plate Purchase

While tracking down some idle issues I noticed my EGR valve assembly was cracked right through the iron on the left mounting bolt. Does anyone happen to have a block off plate I could purchase?

I'd rather block it off then spend the money on a new EGR valve

Block off

Rocket Racing sells fuel pump block off plates that will work as EGR block off as well. If you don't want a fancy aluminum block off, I have a plain chromed steel one I could sell you for $7 including shipping. Let me know if you want a photo or some measurements. Here's a link-

That would be great for 7 bucks. What is the measurement just to make sure it is the proper fit?

Just an FYI on these Rocket Racing fuel pump block-offs, since this thread is where I got the idea to buy one of these. They will NOT work for blocking off the EGR. The bolt holes on the block-off plate are 2.5 inches apart. The EGR bolts are three inches apart. Well, at least on my '73 Olds 350 motor.
