Depending on the ping I'd say it's a lifter out of adjustment. Do you have an SES light?
You won't believe this because I can't believe it either but I have a 91 grand marquis that pings with low octane fuel. I don't know why but the pinging is audible and very nasty... you'd think for a completely stock motor that the knock sensor would have picked it up before it got that bad!
Relash your lifters just to be certain.
