Finally got to drive my 442
I finally got her and man did I miss her. The knocking noise is defintantly the water pump because the knocking got worse and when I pulled back in the garage I could see the water pump pulley wiggle. Oil pressure is spot on. I only went less than a mile and only put past 3k rpms once. I think theres a flat spot in my carb too, it might be the fuel though because it only has a 1/4 tank and its been sitting since december, and she doesn't like anything below premium to begin with. I'm going to put the new water pump in tomorrow and drive her around, wash her, and of course put new gas in.
