A friend is having his "new to him" '76 Birchaven driven from Chattanooga,
TN to Detroit, MI. The driver is in Richmond, KY and says it won't go any
faster than 30 mph. . It started out pulling hills like a champ and
gradually became anemic.

Shop there says there is a knock that sounds like a rocker arm

Does this make sense?



I imagined a fuel filter at first, but didn't know about the "knock".



Looking for opinions.
