I have a 93 v6 with 128000. I replaced the plugs wire and did a tune up. I noticed that during hard acceleration I still get spark knock. I am using the autolite 3923 gapped at .40. Any suggestions on what I can do. I replaced the distributor cap with the one from Napa(brass).

Thanks

If you don't live in a real cold area below 0 a
lot you can use a 180 thermo, it will help with
piston ping

You can also give your combustion chambers a good cleaning. Excessive carbon build-up on your pistons and valves can also cause Pinging. 2 Cans of Chemtool B-12, 1/2 tank of Super Unleaded and a Road trip to burn the fuel off. Follow with 1 more can of B-12 and a full tank of regular fuel and it will do wonders for your entire fuel system from the filter to the tail pipe. Good Luck

Next time a Honduh wants to race

Havent seen you here for a while Shank were ya
on vacation.

Man deer season is here alredy people flocking
to the area have a bunch here at my house just
waiting for morning to come drinking beer.

Glad I don't drink let them go with headaches

I will give them about another hour than start a
sheeps head game. It will be easyer for them to
stumble around with less weight in there pockets.
