I've had my car since new, and did mods back in the early 90's. Gets about 500 miles a year now. Last two years, I'm getting what I think is some detonation when getting on it. When audible, I lift right away. I'm thinking maybe the MSD could have taken a dump? Is there anyway to diagnose it? It's a 6AL with a Vortech Boost Timing Master. I have it set at 3. Edelbrock heads, GT-40 intake, 42lb, fairly mellow cam for boost. 65TB and a Pro-M Mass Air. It has a S-Trim. Remember those? Thanks.

Could just be misfiring. Whens the last time you checked the plugs?

Plugs were replaced about 20 miles ago. They are also the proper heat range. The ones that came out were a beautiful grey color with no spotting. Those plugs were in there since '93 with about 20K miles on them.
