RE: engine running REAL fat ,,WHY??

MEL thanks for the vintage breakdown,,I think the compression is too high to run on pump gas11.7:1,,We run this kind of compression in the small blocks(on pump gas and high powered ignitions) but this big block is too picky for me ,,It really likes timing but it rattles to beat the band when advanced to 36-38 so I have to leave it at 30-31 totals,I am putting in some 114 octane today to see if that cures the ping if so then out comes the motor and suck top pistons go in unless you have an alt idea,,I installed the MSD thinking it would help clean the burn and help stop the detonation but it didn't ,,I'm not so concerned with the fat condition until I can get the ping out,As leaning out the motor will just increase the ping,Have you ever heard of a situation where the fuel could be so fat it causes a Ping??like to fires colliding in the cylinder,,i don't want to drill a hole in the plates just yet as the fat condition is through the intire RPM range(leaky PV?)As well as the idle adjust ment screws do there job well,, Thanks for the help but as of yet I'm unimpressed with these FE's,,I had a 390 built a few years ago for a PU with really good pieces and all the money spent on component compatibility/machine work and I hated it so much I sold the truck,,but I've had this shelby so long I hate to get rid of it because it is a pig(fuel smells and slow)LOL,,but seriously thanks for the input,,

Robbie
