$2400 is actually pretty cheap to come up with a rebuilt 305 and installed for you. Figure the rebuilt engine is atleast $850 + gaskets + labor.

Rod's right though, it's not an engine rebuild, yet. Maybe Brandon while chime in, but I think know that rod knock comes and goes that erratically..

I still think it's something ignition related because that's what you change last.

All you did was the dizzy right? If so, there shouldn't be anything tapping. Look for a tan wire with a brown stripe by your heater box/passenger side firewall. It's a single wire with connector. Unplug that, and set timing. And then see what happens.


I think this might be the one.
