HWYSTR455,
Advanced and initial timing was sent a couple of days ago. You weren't here for that but the title in the video say where it was timed. The motor didn't seem too happy with 12 initial. It was moved around and the knocking was consistent. When you were at the house timing the motor, the idle was set way too high and the knocking noise was masked with the noise of the engine. The car has been timed by plenty of guys that have experience and the same knocking noise was present.

grivera,
A name or a time was not given to me.

Formulajones,
Nobody has touched the curve of the distributor. I don't know want to speak a bunch a nonsense because we all know I'm new to cars. The timing, both initial and advance have been tweaked but the same knocking noise is consistent. We switched out distributors and plug wires, timed it and the noise was still present. I thought I was pretty clear when I mentioned the compression test. Here is my exact quote "We did a compression test yesterday as well but before I post that, we want to verify with another gauge. The results were low but again, I don't want to post inaccurate information". Quoting the numbers and how the test was performed would just put this thread in another direction. Only makes sense to post the known facts. The things that you believe are known by Paul are irrelevant here. I don't know crap about motors but everyone is getting the information from me or guys that have worked on the car. Unless you were there with Paul building my motor, (Both times) you're the one at a dead end. I'm sure Paul reads this thread 3 times a day. He's a big boy, he can comment. Posting your thoughts on what Paul knows is like me posting the compression numbers without being certain. Since you're obviously talking to Paul, tell him to post the video of my motor running at idle from outside the booth. I'm sure a lot of forum members would like to see that!
