i need new spark plugs, and i still have some pinging at part throttle when the engine is completely warmed up and the intake air is 230 degrees.

i currently have ASF32C-F4 plugs, which are 1 heat range cooler than stock.

should i go another range cooler? might that help the pinging a little?

anyone know off the top of their heads what the +2 ranges cooler plugs would be?

I run 23's with spray, and they work excellent, Ypou may want to doubl check your timing.. And where you get fuel from, diff, stations gas is not the same even if it says 89 or 91 octane, I usually stick with BP or amoco, and Shell is usually good also.
