1979 ford f250 460 knock??
Hi guys, i have a 79 f250 with the 7.5 v8 that has been modified. Just today the engine
started making a knock sound. Its fairly loud and every time i give it throttle it gets
louder and faster and comes close to stalling. The truck has been sitting for about a
month or so due to some electrical issues (electrical fires) and a bad starter. I finally
got it back up and running good today and when i went to pull out of my shop it started
making the noise. It could be the gas from just sitting. It sat almost on empty. I dont
think it would be spark plugs because its ran fine up untill now. Within the past few
months ive ran 2 or 3 bottles of fuel additive through it. Any ideas or comments are
much appreciated. It was my great grandpas truck he bought in 79 and he modified it
fairly heavily. Im pretty sure he put a cam, edelbrock 4 barrel carb, intake manifold,
lifters, and 429 heads on it. Thanks for the help!
