AMC 360 V8 EGR , CAM questions looking for sugestions.

[Bruce]

Any engine has a certain amount of self EGR'ing.  The bigger the cam the
more it has (more time with both valves open).  It's rather easy to get to
where you have too much EGR.  So you might not be wanting to add much.

Just find a GM that approximates your's and start stripping stuff off of it.
