I have had this clicking or knocking noise for some time now. Drawing a steady 22inhg at manifold vacuum, initial timing set at 8btdc at 700rpm. Zero noise while clutch is depressed or it is in neutral. Can hold the throttle open at 2000rpm in neutral no problem. Noise disappears any time the clutch is disengaged and a load is put on the engine. Problem occurs in all forward gears to some extent, typically quieter in 1st and loudest in 2nd and 3rd gear. I don't notice anything in reverse although i didn't extensively check, but off the top of my head it isn't an issue. As far as i can tell it isn't effecting performance, but i didn't own the thing when it was new so hard to say. I don't think this is lifter tick, few like if that was the case it would be present in neutral and wouldn't disappear when the clutch is disengaged. I can't tell if i caught it on video, but when you depress the clutch to shift gears it sounds almost like a turbo blowoff for a second. There are also occasional other noises that seem dependent on whether or not the clutch is engaged but i can't definitely assert that because it doesn't happen every time. Also seems to deafen down while in a forward gear going down hill, doesn't eliminate it but it is noticeably quieter.
First video of me driving the thing around for a minute, i never got into 4th gear, mostly stay in second and first. Didn't have anywhere else to set the camera so thats the best angle i could get hopefully y'all can see what gear the shifter is moving in.
Second video is probably the most audible example of the knocking/ticking noise i am talking about. It's towards the end of the first video and i am pretty sure i am in 2nd or 3rd at this point. Like i said, occurs in every forward moving gear, just quieter in 1st and 4th. Being honest by the time i hit 4th the wind is so loud i can barely hear anyways so hard so to say about that one.
Thanks to everyone in advance, this issue has been very elusive to track down, another learning experience i suppose.
