MarkB=> "Juanito" runs beautiful. Gas mileage is around 27 MPG... => performance is good. That sounds kind of lean, which may be contributing to your pinging. Are you using the original fuel pump? Are you running 92 octane fuel or better? Which Webers specifically are we talking about? Single- or dual- port heads? What kind of plugs? => Should the original distributor for the Fuel Injected engine be => changed because of the conversion to carburetion? Check the advance with a timing light, as we've been discussing. If it's not advancing over 30 degrees this is probably not your problem. Many carb conversions do use the Bosch 009 distributor because the carbs don't have a vacuum takeoff for the advance mechanism.
