I have just got done with my 5.0 swap.Finally got the engine running,but now I have a problem. It's pinging,just like a bunch of hammers been dropped inside. I know some of it is the fuel.And some of it is in the timing. I have set the timing at 10 degrees,like it called for. But it's still pinging,no matter what I do.I need some help!

if you got a junkyard 5.0....the balancer may be "spun"....rubber dries out, inner and outer get out of whack. Big picture, you may not have the timing set at 10 like you think/what's indicated

just a thought...good luck
