292 Carb/Timing help?
I put on my new-to-me Edelbrock Performer 500 CFM and the truck has been running... ok. It loses speed on large hills in 4th (4spd; normal?) and on hard acceleration it's knocking/pinging (can't tell). I'm running regular gas, dad said he had hardened valves put in on the one of the rebuilds.
So, do I need to adjust time up/down, re-jet or use super?
Thanks gang.

First of all welcome.
Loosing speed on hills is normal to an extent. If you can keep up by feeding in the throttle there is a problom.
The knocking and pinging aon hard acceleration may be solved by using premium. If not drop your initial timing a bit
