<VV> new pulloffs - no pinging

[Michael Kovacs]

I'll take a wild guess and say that the pull off or the hoses were leaking a little which would lean out the mixture a little resulting an an explosive mixture. If you were running a bit lean to begin with, it wouldn't take much.

It used to ping just a bit on hard acceleration, especially right after a shift. Now, nuthin. Would bad (the old ones weren't that bad - they would pull in when I sucked on the tube end) pulloffs really affect ping like that? Whatever, I'll take the no pinging. I may even try to run 89 instead of 91 octane (to save some dough). It's a '65 110 4 spd by the way.
