Angry Ignition Woes

Okay Guys, I'm back after about a year away. I have a 74 with a 1.8 that is now a 2056. It has the original fuel injection and therin lies my questions. The car runs great but when it gets fully up to temp (oil temp of about 216 degF) and I accelerate, I get pinging. I run Premium (92 octane) with an octane booster which seems to help some. I have checked the distributor and it is advancing per specs, actually a few degrees more that the 914 factory manual states. I'm wondering if at temp and full throttle, I'm leaning out. Should I have installed the 2.0 injectors since I have the larger displacement?

Thanks for your help in advance.
