Well it was warmer today than it has been and I drove the Stang around a bit. Well, I noticed today when I would nail it I would hear some pinging again! Damn.
Well, it would ping a bit and the temp gauge would rise after (to be expected) but while cruising regularly it is fine.
Do our cars have a knock sensor? I have to check the timing again, but after changing the PIP shortly after buying the car, we set it at 10BTC and it was fine ever since. I run 89 octane in the car, and it is all stock. I know I can probably step up to 91 octane, but hey... that shouldn't be required.
Anything else to look for? What is the easiest way to check the timing curve on this thing? Does it have to be under load or will bringing the revs up and using a timing gun be sufficient?
Thanks!
