al,
Seems you're getting conflicting suggestions on what the thread is for the
EGR valve. Assuming you mean the port which is in the head, on my car it was
3/4" UNF. I used what's called a set screw, which means a screw/bolt with no
head but instead a recessed allen key fitting. Makes for a much cleaner
appearance than a 3/4 UNF bolt (the head on a such a bolt is quite huge!).
You will probably have to go to a specialty fastener shop, look under
fasteners in the yellow pages (assuming you live in a large metro area).
Otherwise there are on-line dealers who handle such stuff. Just search for
'fasteners'.
If you can get to a fastener shop, bring the EGR valve (or at least the jam
nut which holds it in place to the head). That way you know you'll get what
fits your car.
