If you are having a pinging knock in the combustion camber at 5°BTC, that sounds more like a mechanical issue. But then again, you said the c&r, plugs and wires were replaced wen the symptoms started happening.

I bumped the timing back up to 10 BTDC with the new msd cap and rotor. And its alot worse you get on it and get it up to like 2000rpm just on flat ground and it pings

Is a harmonic balancer "slipping time," being two separate pieces isolated by rubber, ever become an issue? While checking #1 plug, I put a drinking straw in the cylinder on compression stroke to see approx where TDC is just to make sure.
