If the initial is too high or too low then swap springs until the initial is where you like it.

Oh, I've had a timing light this whole time. But I had to set my initial way, way lower than everything I read to avoid any pinging, and I
still had it happen when on the highway or up hills. I got the tape so I could better see where it was falling at higher RPM's (tab only goes to 12°).
I was at 35° or so with the engine speed up, but couldn't explain the mid-throttle pinging.
Now I'm at about 32° at 2500, so I could increase it more. I just quit fiddling with it after replacing the weights and fixing the problem.
