Re: Ping In 359 Engine

Thanks, JW and BigKev. I don't think I'd pursue sending the distributor out with the engine running as well as it does and the ping so intermittent. Cooler plugs are a good idea and certainly might help, but the car does mostly low speed city-type driving where they recommend hotter plugs. The car has Champion RJ8C plugs, which look to be on the hotter side to me. For right now, the Miller Method and the continued use of premium fuel is, I think, the best course of action. I'm also going to wean it off of the octane booster. I agree with packard1984 who wrote that it shouldn't need 108 octane.
