My 1993 mazda b2600i runs great! But, if I give more than about 25% throttle, it knocks like crazy and it does not feel like it picks up any faster. any ideas??

A couple of things (besides a plain ol' wore out motor): Plugged exhaust/cat: carbon build up on the piston(s): Jumped timing: bad fuel: mis-routed plug wires
If it idles good, OK, But on acceleration pressure it fails. But it sounds like it needs air, intake to me Just my guess

hmmm. that could me, The car has a new exhaust from the cat back
A plugged catalytic Converter will cause a backfire condition - lean - no air out - no air in. You could hook up a vacuum gauge and watch how it acts as you increase RPM to say 2500 and hold it there for several seconds - is the reading low or does it fall off at a steady speed? You could disconnect the exhaust at the manifolds and run the engine - noisy but effective. A muffler shop has the proper tools to make a hole in the pipe and measure the back pressure.
Hey guys.. I'm wondering if the front end of a 92 b2600 is interchangeable with the 99 model (guards,bonnet etc)
