After a couple of months trying to figure out my pinging/detonation problem I found my PCV was fluttering at idle, so this morning going out to do shopping I disconnected it, no more pinging. I couldn't believe it was rattling that load, now to find a PCV valve that works or get one of the adjustable ones. Damn!
 
I ended up ordering the M/E WAGNER adjustable pcv valve, ordered it the 21st and it arrived today, fast service to say the least. Looks to be a quality part with everything needed to set up including tools. If it's not to freakin' hot out tomorrow I will start installing and tuning it. If anyone is interested, I'll let you know how it go's. I'll say one thing, when I disconnected the old pcv and found out that was the problem the Dart ran much better.
 
It doesn't, my pcv raddled loud enough when I gave it some gas it sounded like pinging/detonation!

Congrats. I may have never found that.
