Isnt there a treadmill in this thread somewhere?

WOW so does this thread demystify the fact that my 440 punctured holes through preignition or detonation on #2 and 4 cylinders?
I had an MSD timing retard dial setup and unwiesly timed the engine with the adjustment in near center of its throw.
Long story short,in the heat of battle on a dark desert highway blueberries and cherries flashing in the rear view it got bumped up to a total of 55ish degrees. In less than 2 miles of uphill grade she popped holes in the 2 forementioned pistons, yes they were hyperutectics. ALSO shortest plugwires. Or was it lean? But on just those two cylinders?
No I was not caught red handed she still ran on six and since the Charger I was in was a Ram Charger I used alternative routes to elude those who opresse us who enjoy the finer things in life such as POOOWER unleashed.
What was cheaper a ticket or a rebuild I dont know what the ticket would have been, but the insurance hit from an SR22 on a teen is huge. So I think a two grand rebuild was a fair ticket. LESSONS LEARNED, MANY INFACT.

Back when I was young and it was 5 inches it often fired prematurely. Like a gun with a hair trigger it was quick. As I grew, and it grew in length, the time to fire was delayed significantly.
That's not a bad thing, you just need to adjust for it and time the events appropriately.

Be sure that you run EQUAL LENGTH plug wires, especially when running equal length headers and indexing your spark plugs.

someone needs to invent "wireless" ignition

Diesel?

You mean like coil on plug like modern Hemis and most every engine made?

Thanks for reminding/teaching me something new. I appreciated the lecture even if some others didn't. Brought me back to EE312.
