Chevy s10 mod questions

kach22i,

Not sure I could easily make a splitter. Didn't you make one out of your front air dam? How did that work for you?

I brutalized some vinyl cove base material to form a mini soft splitter. No noticeable difference, mostly looks pretty.

I'm sort of hoping someone comes up with a better way, so I can copy them next time.

Just filled up my 4x4, 4.3l s10 and got 25 mpg. It was only 108 miles, but wanted to check it after the new mods. Heading in the right direction, will go longer this time before fill up.

I had an 84 S10 with the 2.0L stick. Only had a heater, no radio, no A/C. That was my first new vehicle. Simply advancing the timing got me 33 mpg. Remember this was back in the 55 mph national speed limit days.

How much did you advance your timimg and how much of an increase did you get from before advancing? Mine is a 4.3l TBI so I may go to 4 degrees and give it a try.
