Dropping it back to 14 should help with the pinging but you may need to back up to 12.

Don't know a lot about the newer Holley's but that should be a pretty good carb.

There's tuning instructions on Holley's web site for making sure the carb is set properly.

Is the electric chock wired up, if not it can cause a rich condition.

There's a spring kit you can get for the MSD to help with the timing curve.

On the ones I was working with we were trying to get a quick curve for our app but with the 2 lightest springs the advance weights wouldn't settle down until rpm dropped below 1000, this was causing the timing to hang up while still advanced about 6 degrees interfering with the idle setting.

For you car one light spring and one medium spring should get you full advance around 2700-3000 and still settle down for a good idle.

Probably how I'll set mine whenever I get time to work on my 406 FE engine, been a while since I tuned 3 two barrel carbs but I think I remember how.

Love those Ford Tri Power multiple carb setups.
