Setting timing. (Or fill in the blanks) 120-130

......and when you try to accelerate, the timing is not advanced enough, causing pinging.
? By my reckoning, pinging is caused by having too much advance.
I've always done it by the method in the other post. Just enough advance to ping at 30 in top on a bit of a slope and then back a degree or two. One degree of rotation on the distributor = 2 degrees timing.
