Hey all,
85 CJ7/258/Carter BBD/recent rebuild/computer back in the loop for nowI've finally got some time to deal with the mild ping my engine has (running any Octane rating). Here's the story: I recently had the engine rebuilt. It pings on mild acceleration only. If I put my foot into it, the ping stops. Correct me if I'm wrong but that indicates a lean condition at cruising throttle, right? I'm 99% certain there are no vac leaks - replaced all vac stuff a year ago. I've replaced the distributor because the shop said the weights were worn out on my old one and they weren't keeping the timing from going off the dial. I also replaced the EGR -- definitely working as expected. The shop told me that since it still pings on mild acceleration after replacing the distrib and EGR, that I need to richen the mix a little (not the idle mix obviously). Looking at the gizmos under the vent cover plate on the carb, what do/can I adjust? TIA for any help.
Kurt
