Drive 30mph and never stop.

I drew my line at $2.00... I've already bought a motorcycle that gets 55 MPG and I ride it whenever I can (especially good for the 45 mile commute I have to make everyday... which I carpool for on days that aren't good for the bike ride)... other than that, I just try to get all my errands for the week done in one or two trips so I'm not out burning up gas all the time.

USMANCA- If you don't have an answer then just shut the hell up and quit wasting space. \nAnyways, its going to be kinda hard b/c you're most likely going to have to modify the motor mounts and tranny mounts. And rearrange some of the other parts in the engine bay but it would definately work. You might want to go to a Chevy shop and see what they tell you as far as the logistics of what you're looking at. You might also want to switch the gears out in the diff. B/c of the weight of the truck taller gears will take the strain off the block.

well an upgraded clutch and flywheel, helps hold the horsepower and tourque created by an enhanced engine. If you have done any serious motor upgrades(i.e. big turbo, bore, port polish and big time spray) yeah you need a better than stock clutch

Eliminating backpressure in an exhaust system always creates more horsepower and more torque. Headers are excellent. The more efficient the exhaust system, the greater the power gains. \n\nThere are lots and lots of good brands of mufflers, catalytic convertors, and headers out there. In terms of mufflers, some of the best ones are: Flowmaster, Borla, Corsa, Hooker, etc. \n\nThere are lots of ways to increase performance, mate. Use high quality spark plugs, and spark plug wires. MSD ignition creates a more powerful spark, as well. Synthetic oils for the engine can also add power. Get a nice tune up using high quality parts. \n\nGood luck.

There are several things that we truckers do to get better gas mileage, one thing is slow down, I slowed down and just run the speed limit and gained 1 mile per gallon. Instead of running 62 I ran 55 and that made the difference, another thing I see is people racing from light to light so they can stop and idle using gas without going anywhere is wasteful. I time the lights and try to hit each one green, it works. Proper air pressure in your tires. Car tuned up. Lots and lots of little things. I gain a mile per gallon doesn't mean much but if millions and millions of people were doing it the Arabs wouldn't have such a strangle hold on us.

You have a truck that gets 13 mpg, my F-350 duelly only gets about 9.  Which reminds me, it is that time of the month and I have to run all my generators for an hour to keep the gas lines from clogging up.

to start with you're already taller than most 1/2 tons, 325/50  is about a35-12.5 a 3 inch body lift would be the cheapest way but if you're putting 35's on 22's then that probably doesn't matter much , it would depend on the offset and the back spacing on your new rims call the guys at 4 wheel parts and they'll be able to tell you anything you should need to know18002849426 just so you have alittle warning 4 inches will cost you 1500 plus the install and you'll need to do gears 2500 roughly for all of it otherwise your mpg is going to go into the toilet\ngood luck

you have to give it alot of gas at first to get it pop up. then use your body to help keep balance, but also use the throttle a little. give it a little gas if you feel the front end going down. dont kick the gas too hard, if you do you'll fall backwards, and that will hurt.

Scrap both ideas and get a cam, port the heads, and carburate it.  You'll see more results than fuel injection for a very reasonable price, a pre GenIII small block like yours is cheap to build up!

Be more specific. There is a fuel valve you have to turn to get the fuel to go and then prime the carburator, then give the pull starter a couple of light pulls then pull a few good pulls and it should start up.

USE PRINCIPLE OF CONSERVATION OF linear MOMENTUM.\n\nearth gas lower KE because it has huge mass and huge inertia

The gas-usage you noted is the only thing that I've heard of. That said, just because I haven't heard of it doesn't exist. Maybe someone knows more.\n\nYou might want to look around on the website for the NPR show "Car Talk." There's probably a button that allows you to send an e-mail directly to the hosts, too, if there isn't anything useful.

Download a mpg decompressor. You should find some on google.

apply 1st gear, give high raise & maintain it & suddenly leave clutch & maintain balance.-       Wheeling.\nAt speed of 40 hold ur steering tight & apply disc brakes. -    Stoppies

check your timing first at idle speed, vacuum advance unhooked from the distributor and plugged off. \n8-14 degrees, usually i set it at 11-12.\nrev up motor to 3000 - 3500, check it again. now should be at 32-38 degrees, this is called total advance. now-\nwatch the smoothness of the way it moves on its way up to 3500, it should advance quick at first, then slower the more rpm, but smoothly and not erratic or jerky or all over the place. best way to get total - use a timing light that has a dial or a way to measure degrees so you dial the mark back to 0 on the light and read the #. that is the # of degrees. if you dont have one, go to the local speed shop and get a strip of timing tape. that will let you watch the #s better if all you have is an old scholl light.\nhope this helps.
