Hi Mike,

So if compression was an issue it would be too high? Too low of compression
wouldn't make it ping would it?

How do you determine if the distributor is worn? It looked good physically
when I put it in.

What does it mean by the term "advance"? What's the opposite of advance?


What is the negative effect of pumping the brake pedel fast?
What should be the desired effect when pumping the brake pedel fast?

I'm not clear on this. Is this checked with a timing light?

Thanks,

Bill

Hi Bill,
The auto computer programer is virtually a must for every Hot
Rodder with a electronic injection. In your case it would be the DRB-II,

Too low compression would make it ping?
I thought ping was caused by gas igniting before the spark got to it due to
compression. That's why high compression engines use higher octane. Is
this right? Why would low compression make it ping?

thanks,
