I'm sure you'll get lots of other responses on this
question, but 5 or 8 degrees retarded is waaaay too
far back.  The factory spec for '71 is 5 degrees BTC,
and even if you wanted to nudge it back a bit to keep
it from pinging on 87 octane, 5 or 8 ATC is still too
far back.  Try putting it up to about 5 advanced, and
see if that doesn't clear it up.

And just on a personal note, I would never use
anything less than the highest octane I could find in
one of my Imperials.  :o)
