When I said that it pinged it only did it slightly when I climbed a hill. Like I said before I have another car that I drive it is a 67 and it has a stroker 408 in it the difference so far between those two motors is night and day the 318 is a dog compared to the 408 and maybe it’s because I don’t have the 318 set up right either it just doesn’t seem like it wants to whind up that’s the best way I can describe it. I will try to get some time this weekend and investigate the distributor and report back. Like I said before you will have to instruct me on this task I am a rookie when it comes to this. Never done it before because I don’t understand it. Just saying
