Car starts with no kick back and after 12 years of running this thing with a 110 octane/pump 91 mix it is where it runs best. Enter last year and I added a FAST EZ efi with the O2 sensor and figure no more leaded race gas and I get ping now lugging it and when rolling into the throttle at anything below 2500 rpm and its all good above 3000 rpm. Running MSD Billet dizzy and MSD Digital 6 box. Been thinking about heavier springs in the dizzy but am afraid im gonna lose the throttle response. Im just frustrated with the quality of fuels these days at the pump, its all pretty crap. Mopar to the bone!!!

That is why my new 440 Mr Six Pack Attack build is going togehter at 9.5 to 1 compression using 906 heads. Do you have the manifold exhaust heat crossover blocked? Also are you running a 160 thermostat? Cool is always better to fight knock... Can you at least get Non-ethanol 91 octane? I believe it will work better. here in Canada, the SHELL 91 has no ethanol, but other 91's do! Good luck with it.

If so use it Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)

Last time it got a cranking test it read 180lbs. Cam is an XE284 hydraulic. Also sisnt mention I have also swapped to a 6spd and before that detonation wasnt audible because of the converter and less load on the engine. Mopar to the bone!!!

Might just go with 1 light silver and 1 blue spring and hook up a retard switch that pulls 2 or 3 degrees out. http://setyourtiming.com/images/bwcharts.gif Mopar to the bone!!!

I have had a copel of bad once my self They probably make them in India but however buy one more and maybe spen a dollar or two more on a so caled good qualety one this time and see to that you have one or two smal bleed holes so it opends easy if there is preciure under the thermostat.

I had a low compression(8.5 to 1 actaul) I/O drive boat motor that would ping using a Champion J12Y spark plug set but wouldn't ping using the next lower heat range, J11Y I would try the next colder heat range spark plugs The last iron headed 440 motor I tuned until it ping didn't like any total timing above 36 degrees on Oreogon non ethanol 91 octane pump swill I would put the total timing at 34 degrees revved up and readjust the intial to get between 14 and 18 BTDC I like and use really weak advance springs in my distributors so the total timing is all in by 2000 RPM My converters are a lot looser than that at WOT, they will flash to 4400 RPM or higher There very similar driving on the street to a stock Mopar 11 inch converter at light part throttle pressures below 3000 RPM also Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.

This problem was non existent with the auto and loose vert. With the manual the engine is getting load now at 2-3000rpm and that's where the problem start raring its ugly head, that and pure pump swill. If I could just run 5 gallons of 110 per tank and not kill my o2 sensor, this thread wouldn't exist. When the weather let's up I'm gonna try to keep my initial as is,set total to 34-35 and swap out one spring for the next heavier. I have the black bushing left to narrow the advance down to I think 18 degrees total mechanical to try. Mopar to the bone!!!

Replaced one light silver spring with one light blue. Set total timing to 35 and have about 17 intial. Huge difference! I get no ping in 2nd gear matting it at any RPM and just a tad if im lugging it in 3rd and tip in hard in the 1500 rpm range.

In theory that makes sense, but in practice it's usually backwards from that. The temperature is the biggest contributor to detonation, if you get the intake air temp down you can run more timing.

All in a 5000lb 4x4. Running a stock distributor with the slots shortened up and the heavy spring removed and, if I remember correctly, 38 degrees total timing. So far I have had zero problems with detonation. Running NGK V-power 7 plugs. I am at 5000 feet in elevation though. I took it to Vegas but had fuel delivery problems so I wasn't exactly hammering on it. It is a 4spd so the load is similar. I do, on occasion, have issues with the plugs fouling slightly at extended low RPM, but they clear up quickly. And by low RPM I mean 600 RPM lugging because I'm too lazy to downshift. Don't know if any of that helps =). I have a set of Stage VI heads I'm porting that will end up on there eventually. Tight quench with a .045" gasket and .009" out should make for a detonation resistant setup in spite of the higher compression. Guess I'll find out.

At one point it sat for 2 yrs, previous to that it had probably 250 passes,and 5 yrs before that it was in a Ramcharger lol. I really want to go too a GenIII heemee but cost is an issue so I'm thinkin taking another block I have building a 511 and then later on putting good rods and pistons in the current engine and selling it. Mopar to the bone!!!
