I was going off my Dad's notes that said 4.3 Vortec engine was a "must have", but the dealer invoice just says 4.3 TBI. Just took the air cleaner off and you're right, it does not have the Vortec intake manifold. :-(
What I read says the 4.3 Vortec was introduced in '85 and available on S10/S15 starting in 1988. Oh, well.

Do these have a mass-airflow sensor or MAP sensor? Where it is? The air cleaner and snorkel do not have any electronics in them. All my other cars have carbs, LOL.

I tried to transfer the title today and was told I have to get an emissions test first, dang it! It's one year too "new". The testing stations were already closed by then. I'd like to check for trouble codes and take care of anything needed if possible before I take it in for testing.

The under-dash connector has 12 pins. That's all's I know. Thanks!
