Neighbor had a mint 63 Impala it was his wife's pride and joy.
Shortly after installing a fresh built engine at an idle there was a faint knock coming from it.
After checking everything he could think of he pulled the engine and took it back to the machine shop that built it.
They went right through it, he put it back in and same knock.
Changed the fuel pump and knock was gone.
