I have a modified 302 with AFR heads and performance cam. I'm running 12 degrees intitial with 32 total on
my timing. the car is about 9.8-1 compresion, and I run 92 octane gas. I intalled light springs in my distibutor to get my timing to come in quick (read that this was a good thing). My car will ping if a bog
it down like 2k in 5th gear and then floor it. It doesn't ping once the RPM's have gone over about 3K.
Do I need to install some heavier springs in my distributor advance to keep the timing from advancing so quick? I'm going to get it dyno tuned soon, I want to get it close to optimize my dyno time. Any idea's
would be appreciated. I'm not running any vacuum advance.
