DD: I will report my solutions for sure. Should have more time to work it this weekend. For now, I have been driving the 68 Chevelle to work (sunny). Can I just reiterate how damn fun it is shifting the Muncie??? man I had not driven it in almost a year... what a blast. 327/4speed is good for many shi_t's & giggles... I sounded like a little school-girl going to work today!!! LOL.
Bill: I thought that if you disable the advance; it would ping more b/c the timing would be too retarded when the power/RPM rises? Or do I have that backwards??? The timing is too advanced when under mid power... right?? I also know the timing gear is advanced 4 degrees b/c of bigger cam in it. So you are saying it is getting too much timing too fast under mid power... that makes sense too.
