On 429/460 when pre-detonation happens dose it happen on all cylinders or dose firing order have anything to do with it because 7&8 fire next to each other # 7 would show Signs of pre -detonation

No it's a combination of several factors, oil contamination, sharp edges on combustion chamber surfaces, (piston and head), lean cylinder, (this can be on 7&8 because one fires after the other off the same corner of the manifold, (single plane only). Timing difference because of a reluctor tab bent in the distributor.

It goes on and on.

A good sealed up engine with a good tune and compression where it needs to be is the answer.

Thanks back in 85 no internet I was 20 and I never could get to tune right and I think the main reson was I used the dist. Out of my 79 351 and never had it set right to point that the best way I could get it to run was with no vacuum now I found out that they have different adv. plate 18 13 and so on so when I get it back together ill get a dist from Scott that's set up for my app thanks for the info

Sure, just make sure where your total timing is and what rpm it is all in by.
