I had rebuilt my 77 F100's 400 engine with straight up timing, a slight RV cam, and a little compression increase. It has run great except it pings like crazy if accelerated hard. And it requires premium fuel. At 10+/- mpg, I hate to drive it much any more. It's a 2V and has a C6 and 3.31...

I am 99% sure this is the sticker from my 79 Bronco. From where it was found in my stuff, it has to be from the Bronco. I sold the the rig when I got the 77 F100.
