PINGING!!!!!!!!

Hey Guys,
I could use a little help here.
Tuned up my 74 yesterday and it ran really good until today when I tried to start it again.
Took me a good number of trys before it started and after that plenty of pinging at any speed.
Car has 350 with points and stock distributor.

RE: PINGING!!!!!!!!

Dist. may not be tight. Recheck timing and tighten dist. Since you just did a tune, it's easy to have overlooked a bolt. I've done it!

RE: PINGING!!!!!!!!

Ping problem has been solved.
An exhaust leak in one of my headers. Sounds just like pining.
