crackling sound

Today
When going up a hill with the gas pedal all the way to the floor, the motor was making a constant cracking sound, what might be causing this?

Any ideas?

Sounds like over-advanced timing, pinging appearing under heavy load. Retard it 1-2 degrees and see if it lessens or disappears.
