Hi All
Every 1000 miles or so I need to re-fettle the V8, as it suffers from audible part throttle pinking. I retard it by turning the distributor and testing till the pinking has gone, 1000 miles later it's back and I have to do it all over again. Distributor clamp is done up as tight as seems sensible with an alloy thread. It's a Mallory twin-point distributor, and was fitted at the same time as the engine (according to receipts).
Any Ideas? Is it the twin point being silly?
Thanks 8)
