I don't think the problem is the mixture. I've check it with my
Colourtune (finally got to use it) and set it a little rich. To
make sure I also pulled the plugs after a drive and found them to
be gray/brown.
However, I did recall awhile back there was a discussion about bearings
making knocking noise when worn. But I don't remember if it was the main
or rod bearings. On the other hand it can be just me looking for more
things to do on the car now that I have the electrical (BTW, thanks for
the wiring diagram) and carb. fixed up.
