I am Installing an Eldebrock Performer manifold, Non EGR, and have a question on the intake center ports.Gasket installation says to install restrictor on left side. With the performer manifold with no EGR would i just leave the center ports open?

I would think since there isn't even a provision for a EGR valve it shouldn't really make a difference.

my .02 cents

I installed a Performer on my '78 and there is a very noticeable improvement. You should be happy.
