Timing...
I had a MSD dist installed n the timing was off so I took her back to my mechanic today n he upped the timing to 14 I believe n as I drove her home she still pinged..Progresively getting worse....So what should the timing be at or is there another problem...Thanx...Jerrylee///

Fire your "mechanic" and get someone who knows what they are doing. Upping the timing on an engine that already pings is just going to make it worse. Read the sticky on top about timing. You need to find out what your toatl timing is. Initial does not mean much since you are only running that at idle.
