Previous owner put a ton of time and money into this car. Cylinder head was even replaced at some point due to burnt valve. Anyway, went and charged my A/C this summer…drove it about 10 miles with no problems. Started to lose power and make an odd tapping/knocking noise and kept trying to die on me all within about a mile…limped it home, it sat ever since. Here’s the sound it makes under throttle:

I used a screwdriver as a ghetto stethoscope and could “feel” the tapping all over the rocker cover. No problems with timing or timing components, no exhaust leak…car starts and idles fine for the most part…put it in drive/reverse and it dies. Any thoughts? I would love to get this thing rolling again.
