occasional knock
1974 454 coupe 25,000 miles.
The car starts normally most of the time but then it will occasionally start with a knock.
When it knocks (occurs in the front of the engine), the knock will go away after a few miles.
The knock will sometimes go away if I shut the car off, then restart.
When the knock goes away the car runs normally.
Any idea what could be wrong?

Is it a deep low pitch knock or a higher pitch tap

it seems to occur after the vehicle has sat.
it goes away after about a minute or so and does not happen again till the next start.
on some starts it doesn't happen at all, runs great.
