Newbie with ignition question

I just spoke to my mechanic, who is an older gentleman who built these cars in the Chrysler Factory. He agrees that we should try to find a working module from the junked ones I am receiving and, if they don't work, then disabling the EGR system would not be a major crime, especially in view of the fact that this car has an historic tag and doesn't need inspection in Maryland. In fact, when I met my wife 35 years ago she had a 1968 slant six Plymouth Valiant, which, I believe, had no EGR system (just a sticking choke). Steve
