I think I got it! Amazing! I have enclosed a photo showing how much I moved the pump toward the engine - advancing the timing. Some black smoke initially on start-up, but it went away pretty quickly. Took it for a drive and it clearly runs better - NO PINGING/KNOCKING!

Would new nozzles cause the timing to change? That's the only thing I've really changed as far as the fuel system goes... I couldn't move the pump anymore AWAY from the engine - don't know what that means, if anything...

According to the picture - blue mark on right (pump side), and red on left (engine side), is this a big adjustment?
