Default Disable the EGR? or other option?

My wonderful 318 TBI has recently started getting that infamous hesitation syndrome when in half throttle off the line... it's starting to annoy me. It does it more when it's cold then when its warm and I was told it was related to the EGR Valve....

Is there a not to hard/expensive way to cure this "normal" dodge issue?

When I first started reading this it sounded more like a vacuum line came off. At this point I have no c;ue, give me a few hours I'll see what I can find out.

The plastic vac lines are hell on any car. The dry rot, harden, and just generally crack over time. Not many plastic pieces like the heat in the engine bay. I got rid of 99% of the plastic lines in my K, but I still have all the smog equipement attached.

Dor people that are familiar with Ramchargers go there. I don't know those very well and I don't want to steer you wrong.
