well, i finally got a new battery and finished reinstalling the coil and distributor, and fired the car up for only the second time since buying it.
OH What a feeling!!
first spin, she started up, and along came a horrible knock.
fairly loud, and seemed timed with the rpms.
could it be a rod?
i shut the engine down pretty much instantly, and i figured it best to post on here before trying again.
is it possibly due to the oil settling?
i tried to spin it over and pre lube the engine, but ive been told not to do it very much on fuel injected cars, or ill likely flood it.
hope someone can tell me its just a simple problem, but im prepaired for the worst (i hope
uppydog: )
