Here is one for the  experts...

I was driving home tonight in my 74 B (101,500 miles).  the car started fine
and ran well.  after about 2 miles of street driving, I started hearing
noises... metallic knocking noises when the engine was under load
(accelerating).  I also noticed a significant loss of power. the car idled
very rough and hesitated to rev up.

whaddya think?  stuck valve? broken piston ring?

what's the first thing I should check?
