the clattery noise I hear going up hills must be the ping you guys are talking about! sounds like something metalic is broken or rattling around in the engine but only up a hill like a bolt in a coffee can ( although now days coffee comes in little bags from snooty shops),this definatly got better with each improvement in the engine tune in terms of ignition wires ,timing ,especially the timing ;I was at 12 btdc now 6 per spec
So now to the 4 barrel ,have secured an intake ,itll need the thermostatic parts ,that looks easy ,seek the carb and the longer or different link from the cross bar of the throttle linkage, and I guess an air cleaner ,,is the wcfb an oil bath again? Does a later paper element breath better? I don't do much dirt road driving with the 52 ,just looking for some torque so its a more fun cruiser
