Normally you would here a poping, like backfiring , Now in my case I had it
happen just once and hopefully never again. It was when I first put the MSD
stuff on my Dak and the MSD retard box was bad and didn't retard the timing
when I kicked in the juice. I got about 2/3 down the track and all hell broke
loose, thought the hood was going airborn. The truck quit completely on the
return road and I had to unhook the MSD stuff and go back to stock. If your
detonation was anything like mine you'll have no problem recognizing it.
