What causes Knocking/Pinging under hard acceleration?  Bad Mixture? Low
Octane?  Not enough Spark? Bad Timing?  I have a 68 Spit with the 1300cc
engine and a Down Draft Weber carb (DGV)  I always use cheap 87 octane gas.
I recently replaced the entire leaking muffler system with a  header and
new 2" tail pipe/muffler.
