Re: [DML] What gas octain to use

["Harold McElraft" <hmcelraft@xxxxxxx>]

The pinging most likely is being caused by a too rapid mechanical 
spark advance. I have found that the distributor advances the spark 
too fast at the midrange - on mine at least. It is not worth fixing 
in my opinion when higher octane will eliminate the pre-ignition (to 
calibrate the distributor it takes a distributor set-up machine 
which is scarcer than the DeLorean).
