You're welcome, cdogg. Notice BW's statement--in the paraphrase... 'No matter what I did with the timing, I'd ping at any degree until I hit over 3k, then I could rip it up.'
Take it for WOT it's worth. I believe this She'weetie you have, has her own idiosyncratic way, is to sneak up to the throttle apply. Find where she is quiet as a mouse and you found her G-spot, I mean, sweet spot. Same goes with throttle apply in the low rpm range, meaning, no need to mess with the accel pump, more like, find where slow opening too soon is when? Look at the speed, listen for the revs, know which gear? Find that low rpm idio.
Just so the guess pans out, and to make sure there is no ignition problem per say, the guess is all about heat. So the plan is to take a ride in the cold morning and try the same throttling you are doing now; see if it pings? None to hardly notice is your ignition is cleared no prob, and the fuel delivery is not like sun is straight up, most heat of the day is coming and it should say; nothing mechanical in fuel delivery; nor is it an ignition on the blink; when no ping is present being that cool out. Make sense?
LOL
