Trouble with knocking and pinging when acceleration
#11
I have also just finished my 318 and tranny rebuild, experiencing the same type of issue, at least on 87 octane. At 93, it's much less reduced. I've been focused on vacuum, spark and fuel as these are primary lean causation. Have have found several small leaks in the evap system, yanked the AG out to replace the gaskets causing intake leaks. Idle vacuum is now 14", but I'm still not happy with the engines perf. Checked and re-gapped plugs to .052" (Screamin Demon coil) and Live Wires. Had stock injectors serviced and all 100%, fuel pressure @ 49 steady. I still need to check for fuel volume tho and have bought a snap on mt2500 to thoroughly ts this (and probably other) issue. I re-used the stock rotating assembly, so this issue isn't related to that.

He needs 24s on a 408. I recommend the FIC blue demon injectors. they are Bosch design III and I would get them if I didn't have the design IIs already.

These are the same body of injectors that come with newer model 2ndgens.
For 169 bucks, I would get them for a 408 in a HEARTBEAT. I am actually pondering getting the 19lb design IIIs (Same price but the yellow ones).

ALso, this is probably not the problem, but I thought my engine was pinging when I was at WOT but later found out that my Belt was SHEARING OF one of the pullies and the shears were getting tangled on the fan shaft and banging the fan blades. Sounds EXACTLY like pinging!!!
I now have a 4 rib belt :P Yeah, i know I should get another belt. But i need to address the pulley alignment problem. I just hardly drive my truck enough to have real urgency.

A guy on this forum was running lean with a 360 with a camshaft (.480 lift). He went with 24s and the lean spot vanished.
