Did some more work on my bird this weekend (painted the inside of fenders and hood to prepare to be hung).
Anyway I pushed the car out of the garage and proceeded to start her up to to keep all the oil from settling in the pan and causing dry starts.
The engine is pretty cold blooded and usually won't start on the first crank. The engine fired on the second crank and sounded like it backfired a little. The engien idled down and idles fine but now it will not run while under load (in drive). It sputters and stalls intself out.
It's also now making a knocking sound that is coming from the exhaust. You can't hear the knocking through the block but there is a definite knock coming from the exhaust pipes that wasn't there last weekend.
The absolute only difference from the car being run this past weekend and the weekend prior was the air cleaner was on the carb this weekend. Otherwise no changes had been made.
What do you guys think? Does it sound like I hurt something or could it just be in poor tune?
