Engine Knock

I have a realy bad engine spark knock, I think, sounds a little more intense than a spark knock to me. It intermit, an when I dont have the know I have a lot more power.. I did find the wire from the coil to the distributor cap corrodided, that help for about a day and then it was back. Any other ideas...

ditto check your cap and rotor. Would hurt to test the coil too. If it was getting too hot or shorting out from the corroded wire it could have sent it to an early death.
