Re: Pinging after 40-45 mins of driving?

Yes, a vacuum leak could make it worse, but it's a problem that needs to be fixed on its own. I prefer carb studs (vs bolts) and then use a torque wrench. Easy to break carb corners and thermostat housings.

I'd wager that fixing the carb and the vacuum line routing together will go a long way.
