Will need to take the n/s intake pipe off but its being built so there are silicon hoses joining the bits together. Not sure where the air filter is going yet!!

I suppose its a resto rod/street rod, not that its being built to any formula just my own take to make a good daily driver.

A big hump/air intake scoop on the bonnet which could house the air filter?  :)

All the components have turned up to make the EGR cheat, ordered some prototype board and miniature relay. Bugger pins not on same spacing as holes in board, never mind I can feel some bending happening! Just hope the resistors are correct rating cos its said as example 4K7 and it took that as meaning 47K (not that it looks like you can get one marked up as 4K7).
 Not the first cheat circuit I have made, did one for my lads R1 to bypass the exhaust flap.

4K7 is 4.7k or 4700 Ohms resistor. Can be found on Ebay

No, 47K is not 4K7. 4K7 is 4.7K.

Basically the letters R, K and M are used in place of the decimal point. R indicates ohms, K thousand ohms, and M million (meg) ohms, all followed by a decimal point. So..

4R7 = 4.7 ohms.
47R = 47.0 ohms
470R = 470.0 ohms
4K7 = 4.7 thousand ohms = 4.7K
47K = 47.0 thousand ohms = 47.0K
470K = 470.0 thousand ohms = 470.0 K
4M7 = 4.7 million ohms = 4.7M

Just be thankful you're not dealing with capacitors. 4700pF = 4.7nF = 0.0047uF.

Never did get into electronics, had one of those build yourself simple circuits kits back in the late 60s and a few even worked!
