save it for something else. nothing listed will make any noticeable difference in how the car runs, or performs.

Add a MSD Superconductor wires & a DIS-2 amplifier with the coils... with the plugs gapped to stock specs... and you will notice an increase of fuel mileage. I did that on my '88 Ramcharger (Think: Dodge builds a Bronco, and it handles better than anything else like it!) and I saw a 20% increase in the economy loop!


Go beyond the "bolt-on".

My guess is the Cavalier a smidge bit more optimized for fuel economy than a 1988 Ramcharger.

better off with an intake or custom exhaust, ignition is close to dead last in performance modifications.

Well, it did only have TBI & a 3-spd locking-convertor auto trans. And it was equipt with a solid-axle, part-time 4WD system. And everything else was stock, including the 120a alternator I wired the box's unswitched positive lead to the BAT terminal of, except for the Champion Truck Plugs I installed for durability sake. So...


Go beyond the "bolt-on".

Do a cat back with it. At least you can use it later with boost
