How loud is the noise?
79' Chevy Scotsdale 350
I have a 79' chevy 1/2 ton 4x4 pick-up, I replaced many parts and upgraded parts like , carb,headers,intake,etc......My problem is ,I hear a spark knock at high speeds or climbing hills. How do i eliminate this noise. Is there something i overlooked in my upgrades, or is it just fine tuning the timing or ajusting the carb??????? I need help??????

Is it an original 350 from 79 in your Scotsdale? If so, how many miles, etc?

RE: 79
Are you hearing the knock mostly under load? I agree, more information on the age/condition of your engine will give some clues.

You can back the timing off a little or try running a higher grade of gas. Either should help, but the gas is the easiest to start with.
Yes, it's always best to start simple. Keep the tank full, try a different brand with different additives and higher octane, etc.
