Tuning For Detonation

So, no comment on EGR? Lower the cylinder temperature, reduce knock.

LOL I don't know. I think with the relatively low mannyfold vacuum.....that I've not measured yet LOL, I don't think it would work very well, plus, I'll have to fab a mount for it, since the Offy four barrel intake has no provision.....and I ain't gonna work "THAT HARD" to add an EGR. LOL

and.... @yellow rose my new thermostat was stuck closed, so believe it or not I rummaged around and found another one.....although it's a 195 instead of a 160, it's still the same type high flow thermostat, so I stuck it in and it's actually got it running a noticeable amount cooler on the gauge. 160 going in the radiator 87 comin out. Now, tell me how the hell the thermostat opens when it has 160 pukin into the radiator? LOL Heck if I know, but it is. It may be ironed out with the spark knock now, since I backed it off the five degrees....if you read above, the timing marks were incorrect. When is on the 15 mark, it's actually on 21 degrees, so that's why it had too much total. Now I backed it down to the 15 degree mark which is about 20-21 so now it has 30-31 total. We'll come up with "somewhere" to go tomorrow to test it out. LOL
