Ok I run 37 total and 17 initial on my 452 headed 451 with 10.2.1 CR. 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.

I hear you on the poor gas quality... 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.

Two choices in my opinion, lower the compression ratio(under 9.5 to 1 with iron heads) or put a set of aluminum heads on it I'm not familar with the software and the abilities of your EFI system, can it control the timing? If so use it

Its gonna matter on the cam... being that those are
iron heads you MIGHT be close but the cyl pressure
will tell the store... what is the cranking pressure
and the cam specs... if you cleaned any sharp edges
in the chambers that will help... also if you can run
the coolant temps lower that will help

is there a quench pad on those pistons? if they are flat tops, put a closed chamber head on it

I ran my 12-1 engine on 91 at drag week but had the timing turned down to 32 because of that popcorn butter they sell out there

Yes I do run non ethanol 91. Heat crossover blocked yes. 180 t-stat and that wont change.

I wish I could run lower temps but after heat soak and extended run time, 180-190 is what it is. 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.

what is fuel air ratio.13.7 would be ideal

thats gonna cause more detonation... fuel is a coolant also

Yep I think it is 13.7-8 at cruise and 13.1 at power. Problem is that is where it says it is but unless I have another o2 sensor gauge who knows.

On a dyno he is shooting for max power... the number
comes up to what ever it is.. but it will be in the
12.6-13.0 range... dont ever go for a number when trying
to find power... find the power then see what the reading is...
cruise is a different matter

I have 2 light silver springs and tried to blue springs yesterday and power was down quits a bit. 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

Have you tried just pulling a few degrees out?

I have one 440 (10.12 comp) that would faintly rattle on a hot humid day at 37-38 total. Pulled it back to 34 and it was OK.

Yeah im also thinkin about changing bushings to reduce total timing a couple degrees. I need to get a new timing light too since my last one disappeared. When I tried the 2 blue springs the thing didnt take off until about 4800 rpm.

I would start with puting in a 160 thermostat and try to back
of some on the timing !

Why not richen up the mix a touch? Seems to be asking for it.

I will try all the suggestions. The 160 thermostat was tried last year and the car runs cooler with a 180.

Sounds like you got a bad 160 thermostat ! 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.

What spark plugs are you running, brand and part #? 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
