Well I advance my timing to 12 and my car was pinging. I always use 93 octane gas. So I brought it down to 10 and I still get some pinging. Could my balancer be off. The rpm needle also jumps around 800-1200 since I advance it. When I first look to see what my timing was it was 8.Any help will be greatful.

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.95mustang_gt said:
