Hello guys, I'm also new here. Not real good with cars but i know a good deal about them. I have a 1987 chevette which i have put in a new carborator, timing belt, and everything else is fine. I would like to know if there is anything else that could improve the performance of the car, maybe better gas milage and so on. Could you guys help?

in your other post you said 78? eather way they are easy and cheap to fix. your driving a chevette i dont think there is much more you can do to get better gas milage lol. i would replace plug wire cap and roter. you could eaven put duel exaust on it if you wanted it would look cool and be dif.

I miss my chevette, had a 1985 for a first car. cs had a loud stereo

the only thing I could thing of for power would be a turbo..from an import.

fuel milage?

make sure it is maintaned properly.

tires, brakes, trans, oil..etc...make sure every point is greased like it should be.

shove its were not made for economy or power.

they were made to compete with the japanese cars of the day.

They really weren't a bad car but boy was the start a real PITA to replace. [:@]

Try JC whitney's 2-bbl Weber converion kit.
MSD also make a High Performance HEI Coil
ACCEL makes a HEI Rotor kit
For better cooling I'm going to a radiator from an A/C chevette which has more surface area, and then go to a electric fan. The plastic fans take too much power from the motor.

A guy on myspace milled out a High Output head and put flat topped pistons in the motor an pulled a whapping 80HP
