Angry 351 ping

Hey there guys.......new to the board


and to the bigger motors (351)

I just bought a 81 bronco with a 351 and it has a small ping only on acceleration and it only happens some times.

I can start it up and the ping will be gone.....I could stomp on it and it will have no sound at all and the very next time I start it up it will ping again.........

I have tried to adjust the distributer a bit for about a week and no luck. Checked the air filter and plugged......could this have anything to do with it................

Could be erratic EGR operation or vacuum/centrifigal advance sticking at times.
