Easy fix:
get a 16V.

  While my 84 8v is warming up from a cold start, there is=20
  good power and no pinging. =20

  But as it approaches/reaches fully hot, power drops off=20
  and moderate pinging can be heard when accelerating=20
  in the higher gears.

  I was at first thinking this would be a spark advance problem,
  but if so, why does it run ok when cold ?  Is there another
  regulator of ignition advance relating to temperature, or am I
  looking in the wrong place?

  Leo
