knock or ping around 2500 rpm

I have a knocking or pinging that kicks in around 2500 rpm whenever I am accelerating. I've got the 17 deg timing advance and always use 93 octane gas. Does anyone else have this problem and is there anything I can do to stop it? thx

Widespread problem. Mine happens from about 1700-2000. Do a search, there must be a dozen threads about it.

Do you feel vibration at the paddle when accelerating?
