detecting timing/retard problems?

Are there any noticable signs that you might have over advanced the timing?

Pinging can be a problem when the timing is advanced to high.

The car will not run as good, you'll experience detonation under a load.. and the car will start rough.

With timing set at 18, you'll be ok with 94 octane. The socali people miss out bigtime on this octane business.
