I have this knocking sound that drives me crizzy crazy. I think it's the fuel pump push rod. This did this BEFORE I changed the fuel pump and pushrod... When i had it off, I cranked the engine to get the cam so the pushrod would go all the way up; but when I cranked it I didn't hear the knocking/banging. Got the new one on and it still does it. The pump is on the engine, and tightended as much as I could get it... Is it possible I didn't put enough grease in it, or what?

Also, I can rev the crap out of my car is neutral and park, but in drive I can accelerate easy, but if I try to increase the throttle any quickly I hear a loud clicking sound, but a little harsher...(hard to explain) and then the engine bogs REAL bad then dies. Starts right up when i throw it in neutral. It is comming from up front. I am going to guess it's the torque converter.... but the basis on that thought has no support. It's a 305 TH350

PweASE help guys?? :(

How does the oil pressure look? (to be sure it's not rod knock)

Too bad we cannot hear the sound. Maybe a rod knock?

Is the outer ring of the balancer spun and hitting the timing chain cover?

I can record a clip of the sound with my phone if you would like.

Also the idle is at like 1500 even when warm. In gear stopped it's at 900 or so..

The heck?
