EGR question

Well then, how about running it off a venturi vacuum signal to an amplifier, this makes it a variable vacuum source. and you can drill the signal port anywhere up the venturi, to select the start of EGR. Just drill the hole and press a brass tube in there. Don't like it? Just move it and close the previous hole.
Thats how its wired right now, but when I put the vacuum gauge on the vacuum amp EGR output, I get an instant pop of high vacuum off idle, perhaps that mysterious vacuum amp is bad? Interesting note on my Weber DFT from the smog police here in CA is documented exactly where to drill the EGR port on this carb, just like your post! But they dont tell you if you still have to run the amp...? I think It will run better straight off the carb, crazy amp out of the picture.
