Got the 123Ignition yesterday, I pushed all of my projects back!
"Sorry granny I'll get to those bearings on your heart/lung machine soon, I promise."
Blocked out 3 hours for the removal and install.
Added about an hour to charge the battery.
Installed as expected, there is a spacer that is necessary for type 4, just slides over the dizzy shaft.
I decided to route the wires and vacuum away from the fan so access to the vacuum nipple was easier, since the vacuum can is gone there's a lot more space.
Followed the instructions but made the mistake of using the TDC 0* instead of the 27* as the basic timing point. I just walked the dizzy CCW until she started!
Didn't do anything other than matched my timing with my idle, I let her run till she settled down.
Just around the block once, ha ha the trailer hitching is GONE!
Responsive throttle, man!
Setting up a tuning session, nice 150 mile run up the California coast with the AFR meter.

i agree that your timing has to be off but also you should not have to be running 100 octane in a stock motor. the original designers of this motor intended 87 octane fuel in a stock motor.
you need correct fuel- pinging is pre-ignition- the fuel is igniting before it should before or after, it is supposed to, when the piston is in the perfect position. So go back to the correct fuel and re set your timing. i had these same issues when i first got my car I did the same thing- and a big part of it was thst other than timing, and vac leaks, the car was running too lean- it ended up being the MPS was rebuilt but not retuned- once i had a AF meter i was able to fet the mps set correctly and then, no more pinging-
