I am working on a 73 1.7
Valves adjusted to spec Points set using dwell Timing on the nose at 27' @ 3500 rpm (vac lines plugged) She runs fairly well. had lots of ping on a up hill. I could rev through it ... More ping as revs drop under load. Today I put in fresh 91 octane and 16oz of seafoam, took a nice drive up a mountain. Almost all the ping is gone. Should I retard the timing just a bit ? Or other suggestions / input much appreciated. |

if you think a de-coking is nessesary, i like the idea of sea foam on a vacuum line rather water. also add sea foam to the gas. still think you must verify correct operation of distributor advance and correct timing.
