Hello all.
I could sure use some help please.
I have a 65 Falcon W/200, Stock Load A Matic Dizzy and 1100 Autolite carb.
A year ago, I installed a New (not rebuilt) Cardone Distributor.
Car was driving fine till about a month ago.
Upon acceleration, I now have mild pinging that will not go away.
I've always had the timing advanced 10 degrees.
So, to try and help, I backed it down to 6 degrees. Didn't Help.
Bought a tank of higher octane gas 91........................Didn't Help.
Changed the points and condenser..............................Didn't Help.
Changed out the spark control valve...........................Didn't Help.
Installed a motorcraft re-built dissy..............................Didn't Help.
What was very weird was....when setting the timing, I noticed when I reved the engine, the timing advanced.
I had the vacuum disconnected and the dizzy does not have mechanical advance, only vacuum, so I was perplexed why this was occurring.
Any help would be appreciated.
