Re: Pinging, compression ratio, and advance....

  Hi Tim,

   I haven't seen 96 octane leaded fuel at my corner station for years. 
Where do you and your B reside?  Anyhoo, I'm wondering if you
distributor is working OK.  Have you checked the advance mechanism and
vac unit for the proper curves?  

   I'm running ~18 degrees initial advance on my '69 B, using 87 octane
unleaded gas.  Hard to tell exactly, what with the way the damper is
marked.  I don't get any pinging and I do lug that tractor motor at
times. ;^)
