I'm curious why? Is Maryland so oppressive that you have to have working, certified smog gear on a 37 year old antique car?

Up here, we just plug 'em
 
California here. We have a lot of experience with smog crap. When EGR's came out in early '70's, Mopars were hesitating on acceleration. The problem was the EGR was opening too fast. You can "adjust" EGR by slightly crushing the top of the diaphram can, thereby increasing the spring pressure on the diaphram.

Md is a typical liberal, tree hugging state. If it came on the car it must work.
 
Go get on www.rockauto.com and drill down as follows:

Dodge --> 1989 --> D100 pickup --> 3.9L (239CID) V6 TBI --> Emissions -->EGR valve. You will find three listings. Ignore the last one. The first one is an excellent price ($26 and change) on a good brand (Kem) on warehouse clearance. The second one is a good price ($37 and change) on a good brand (Airtex). This is a later-type EGR valve with backpressure transducer; it'll reduce the hesitation/stall tendency described by Murray.

Also, between vehicle inspections, run a vacuum hose directly from the carburetor's ported vacuum nipple to the distributor's vacuum advance, not stopping at the OSAC valve on the firewall. Result will be _much_ better driveability and fuel economy.
