Going to Moroso tonight! Gotta figure out this knocking problem..
 
O.K. plain and simple. The car knocks at idle. Especially when its a cold start. Sound weird? Doesnt knock through acceleration, but makes its rattling at idle. Timing is stock since rebuild. Mods are listed below.

I just had my harmonic balancer go on me. It knocked like hell, I woulda swore I had a busted rocker arm or something.

Don't know if it is the same kind of knocking but could be easy to overlook. I almost did, a friend found it for me.

Is it the engine, or maybe something else hitting the body, like a vibration somewhere?
My Flowmasters sometimes loosen off the hanger a little and it makes an awful knocking sound till I push them all the way back in...
