Hey Sean & Everybody,
I'm still running the factory plugs....i haven't pulled them and looked at
'em, either. Usually, i run Texaco 87 octane gas. On my last trip, to get
the pinging ot stop, i poured in some 'marvel mystery oil', and ran chevron
89 octane....at one spot 'fore i put the 89 octane in, when i was
accelerating to get on the freeway, it pinged all tehy way thru every
gear....i wasn't accelerating abnormally hard....and my engine routinely sees
up to 3000 rpm. I'm going to have the dealer hook it up to the computer to
look at the rough idle/pinging when the body work is done...
How big of an impact does thermostat have on pinging?? i'm thinking of
switching that too...and what Autolite plugs will work best?? i can afford
them, and will go get them soon as i get a part number;)
TIA,
Mike
Portland, Oregon
Dak-less till this next week:*(
