about timing

doesnt sound right, shouldnt be pinging. sorry i cant help you though

I run 16 timing and I can run 91 octaine

You warmed the car up and removed the spout connector before setting the timing? If so, then you would seem to be doing it correctly. Could be you have carbon build up in your cylinders, causing the ping, could be your balancer marks are off.. To check the marks, bring it to EXACTLY TDC on #1, then look to see if its ponted right at zero... if not, the housing is probably spun.. you could get an adjustable pointer and set it to zero, but they may/will continue to move, a new balancer is the real answer for that. If it's maybe carbon build up, I HEAR great things about "seafoam"...

Not at all to blow you off, but i would do a search in here for "seafoam" - you will be reading till next year. Tons of info (much quicker than waiting for people to reply). good luck.
