So John, to get to the pinging stage would I retard it from there?? As it is now, it starts good cold (doesn't 'fight'the starter) and has excellent power and only once when I was going up a pretty steep hill, laying on it in 3rd gear, did I hear the hint of a ping. Then when it is warm and I go to start it, there is that slow turn and it's like it just has to get one turn in and it's running. FWIW, I have the timing set at about 7-8 degrees as far as what it shows on the flywheel.... Chris.
