When I went on vacation I left my car (90 Bird) with a mechanic to do some brake work. I also asked him to see if he could figure out what was causing the pinging problem and the idle problem that I am having. (After installing a Morana 4.2L Stroker and pretty much every aftermarket bolt on you can think of including a EEC tuner and a program from "Dr Fred") I can not get it to idle correctly or make it stop pinging. When checking the timing he said the timing was set 147 deg advanced. No....that wasn't a mistake....147 deg. I'm am not, by any stretch of the imagination, an SC Guru, but could someone please tell me how in the hell the thing could even start much less run. I realize this would cause serious problems, and it does act like it is advanced, but that is just to unbelievable. Has anyone out there ever heard of somthing like this happening? I am running out of ideas.......
