spark plug/timing update

After changing spark plugs (motorcraft) my truck acted like the timing was off when driving (poping/pinging) long story short; I have a 71 Torino engine 302 I upgraded to Duraspark II, the plugs for the Torino is different from those of a 78 F-150 which is the distribetor I used, because I was running acell & then split fire plugs since the conversion I guess it really didn't matter since they are performance plugs, when I tried the motorcraft they will not work so I guess its back to the auto part store for more splitfire plugs.
I guess I learn something new everyday...
