Got it up again, was setting it to furthest right mark, when 0 is 1 over from right...
Put oem injectors in and it sounds exactly the same.
I've welded my manifold a few times because it was cracked like hell, any chance this could be making the noise?

Its possible old school way of finding mystery noises piece of heater hose/garden hose three or 4 feet long one end on ear other end move to where noise is loudest .

I did that with my breaker bar, upper pan is pretty loud, but manifold is twice what it is... Just don't know if that can cause a knock? I just dumped seafoam into the vacuum, going to blast it out and check for significant leaks

I don't know the difference between knock and tick well enough to describe, but I'll replace the manifold if that can cause the noise.
