<VV> Pinging Question

[shortle]

If your timing advances properly (vacuum and centrifigully[check spelling]) I might be tempted to up the initial timing a little more-maybe to 16btdc and then see how it does. Out of curiousity what is an "ignitor" module? I personally like the Pertronix II.

>I have an original '65 Monza 4-dr w/110 pg.  The car had 45,000 miles on it when I got it.  A true little old ladies car.    It sat for 30 years.  It was running when I bought it from the previous owner.  I did a reseal, thorough cleaning of the heads and a deflash of them and jugs as well.  I installed an "ignitor" module.  I also installed dual exhausts.  I am using Amsoil 15W-40 heavy duty motor oil, as well as their syn tranny fluid and gear oil.  The timing is set to stock specks.  (13* btdc)  It runs great!!

As i've driven 110's before, and noticed they tend to ping  on 87 gas,  is it possible to actually have stumbled onto one that doesn't ping?  i keep listening for it, but as of now, still haven't heard it ping.  Thoughts and opinions, please.
