Re: Detonation ping

I bought my 86 with 305/700r4 in 2008 at 105k, it currently has 197k and has always pinged for me. I ran 91 when i lived in MD and that helped but not perfect. Timing is 8degrees because less than that I have no power. Since moving to Florida i started running rec89 which is ethanol free and the pinging has gotten much better.

What is the ethanol content where you are? In MD we had 15 percent. Ethanol is a real problem for older vehicles
