When I started pulling my 3000 lb towd I had to back of the timing 2-3 degrees to stop the bad pinging on inclines. When I run without the toad I notice a great loss of power, so much it feels like the toad is still back there. I'm running the Mallory unilite module in the stock distributor for a 74. Is there a dependable aftermarket distributor with easily adjustable timing or something with knock sensor available or both that others have gone to. Yes I run 93 octane, I have to with all the mods the PO made. Any ideals, as usual, will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Skip Hartline
