its just a backyard way of doing it.

it's actually a very accurate way of getting the timing set as advanced as possible......but I guess you'd rather have a lite tell you what to set your timing at so good luck to you...

It's not accurate at all. You cannot hear detonation until it's severe. Mild detonation can be catostrophic to the engine, and you can't even hear it.

a mild ping could possibly be after a hundred thousand miles or so.... :roll:

It may make take 100,000 miles in your 180hp 305 but in a 600+ hp 383 stroker.....................

you just don't get it.

I get it just fine.....and you can keep on doing just whatever it is you do...

Even believing what you do, please explain to us how even a mild ping is going to be a benefit to the engine.

Perhaps you don't fully understand what pinging (detonation) is? Not being rude, asking honestly.
