I have a 1976 Dodge Aspen with a 318, 4spd. Since the weather warmed up this week into the upper 80's I've been experiencing a light throttle ping when leaving a stop light. It gets progressively worse as under hood temp rise.
The EGR was deleted by a previous owner. Short of replacing the EGR system what are some tips and tricks to lower the intake air charge and Cyl temperature? Coolder plugs? Snorkel? (My car doesn't have a provision for the paper tube). More fuel from the accelerator pump?
I've checked the temperature at the Thermostat outlet (194°), water pump inlet (147°), Snorkel (130°), and EGR block off (230°). I have an electric fan which is running at idle and the center of the radiator is 115°.
Any ideas are appreciated. Thank you.
