he was having alot of problems with pinging up around 4500 + . I set the timing at 36 total with the heaviest msd springs in the pro billet distributor. It still pinged BAD. He talked to someone and the guy put the timing at 31 degrees total,does that seem right ??????/

Guessing he did some damage to the motor when he was trying to get rid of the ping




What was the INITIAL timing (with no centr. advance)? What color bushing is with the springs?
Unless the the advance plate is LOCKED OUT you add initial + centrifical to get total timing.
Did you check timing @ idle and then @ 3200 rpm?
