Looks like one cylinder ran lean

[FORBESAUTO]

Detonation due to lean or timing high on that cylinder. Need to go through fuel system thouroughly and index flywheel for that cylinder and check wot timing on #6. When I had a new set of switchboxes that had a bias problem, #6 was the cylinder it would fry, found it had 5 degrees more timing than #1.
