Yes, remove all EGR plumbing, including the flanged pipe coming off bottom of exh manifold, the cooler and the EGR valve itself.

Thanks Jim. Do you want me to order those parts online or through here? (wasn't sure if they are all in stock)Yes, remove all EGR plumbing, including the flanged pipe coming off bottom of exh manifold, the cooler and the EGR valve itself.
It’s got the Pertronix ignition and coil in it.Please order the desmog parts from the website, it's easier for everyone.
Timing being off will not cause a stutter. It will cause reduced power output.
The ammeter behavior is normal for a points regulated alternator.

I'll pull it today and check.How does the cylinder #5 plug look after the last month? Still black, flat or glossy?
Anything greater than 1000...idle and mild throttle is good.Approximately, what rpm is the engine giving you trouble? From the video, I'd say 1,000?
@FJ40Jim ...is this the correct one from the website? Or does that only fit an 81-87? If it's not the right one...how do I order the correct one?The PCV plate & hose should remain in the side of the intake manifold.
The EGR block off plate goes at the other end of the EGR where the flanged pipe comes down off the exh manifold.
I do make a block off plug for the threaded fitting where EGR is connected to intake manifold pipe, but can't find a pic ATM.
It's similar to this brass one,
but machined from a steel bolt.
I'm not sure how to get to the centrifugal weights...I think they are under this plate. How do you get the plate off to see if they spin:
I took out the screw from the middle of the shaft. I took out the vacuum retard which was held in place with a retainer clip. There isn’t anything lease that I can see that’s keeping it onI can’t remember off the top of my head, it’s either a screw under the rotor in the shaft or I think there are two retainers that hold the plate assembly in. Yes the weights should be under that.
