I have some more hei questions

[dyingdeadman]

sry for asking so many questions but this is the 1st time i have ever done any type of dist. work. my engine is still pinging (just inital timing) and that means that the timing is too far advanced. so in order to fix this i need to retard the timing. to retard the timing i need to turn the dist clockwise? what if it wont turn anyfurther clockwise? if i am on the right track so far, i take it that i need to get a recurve kit and do i put heavier springs on or lighter springs on? and do i need to do anything with the weights?

(on a side note I am pretty sure the pinging is from the timing and not the fuel as i run premium/super (92 octane) fuel.and the motor seem to be running pretty smooth except the pinging problem and it seeming like there is less bottom end)
