labor knock turned into major pain!

[paducahshane]

I got some bad gas, I thought. Five minutes after filling up from empty I started getting a labor knock. Took "Green Bean" as the wife calls her, straight home and drained gas and changed filters. New gas and still knocked under load and got worse with loss of power now.

long and short.. I changed timing chain (1/2 in play) and replaced lifters.. wth, while at it put in an rv cam. Did it over night and had her back on the road by 5am. STILL no power and knocks like all get out under load.

Re-ran rockers (this time while running), checked wires (new), checked tdc, Distributer cap was HIGHLY corroded, cleaned it up. I am also running extra rich and most likely have trash in my float (from the bolt used to plug gas line).

I am about to throw my hands in the air and by a crate engine
