 KIA Pride - 94 1324 Optimum ignition timing - Dog
Many older cars were more susceptible to 'pinking' than others - the ford pinto springs to mind.
Some manufactures state ignition timing should be set at say 3000rpm with vac disconnected and that method is far more accurate than say setting it at 6btdc @ 800rpm.
But to do that, you would need a timing light with an in-built advance meter, and to know what the ignition advance should be at that engine speed.
