In case I didn't mention.. the pinging isnt really noticable untill after it gets past 160. I was thinking of going to a 160 or 180 stat just because I only drive it in the summer months where the temp outdoors is around 90-105. so at operating temp 20 Psi is ok? the car has 106,000 Miles. when I pulled the intake it was carbon city. and I have bad valve guide seals on the left head.
i was thinking of ditching the qjet for a edelbrock carb. funny.. with all the little problems and stuff I can still get 16 MPG in the city. What is a good safe grade oil to use in a car like mine?
