The EGR system recirculates dirty unburnt emission gases back into your engine through the intake manifold which decreases performance, but improves gas mileage. You can bypass the EGR valve. Just buy a block off plate from you local speed shop. However, the EGR valve is there to cool the combustion chamber so without it, you will hear a lot of pinging until the motor melts.

Where is the EGR Valve in a Ford F-250?
They are usually on the valve cover. Trace the hoses from the carb since they are vacum actuated. 1 of those should lead you right to it. If you shake it & there is movement inside, it is good.Amendment - by PayDayBillThe PCV Valve is located in the valve cover not the EGR. The EGR valve is located on a spacer block that is installed between the Carburetor and the Intake Manifold. It points to the back side of the engine behind the carb. The EGR will be visible once the air cleaner assembly is removed.
