Bone stock 95, detonates, help please?
 

This is kind of a tough situation, but I am about to purchase this 95 GT and it detonates under load above 3500, Is this usually an easy fix? I just put some 92 octane in it on the test drive, because it was empty, how long would better gas take to reduce/rid the detonation? A couple other things, it runs a bit warm (which may be a result of the detonation)and the A/C doesn't work, is there something in the A/c system that is more prone to failure than other parts? I am having the car looked over by a ford dealership tomorrow, but I wanted an indication of what the problems might be beforehand. 66K, 5 speed. Thanks much

I just converted my 95 GT to a 5 speed. After reconnecting the battery, it pinged like crazy no matter what octane was in it. The computer must have finally adjusted it out becuase it doesnt ping anymore.

check the timing.
