Alan: True, my Healey will diesel occassionally but not always. Usually when
hot after a long run. However, that problem was solved long ago by shutting
down in gear and releasing the clutch. I do not consider it economically
adventageous to spend ten to twenty cents more per gallon to solve such a
simple problem. I haven't worn out a clutch yet. Just call me 'frugal' -
spelled c-h-e-a-p ?

The problem isn't pinging, it's the dieseling after you shut the motor off.
A standard spec BJ8 from the factory will absolutely require at least 92
octane to keep from plunking over when you turn the motor off.
