for some reason i am hearing a ticking sound from my engine...it is fully rebuilt..but could it be the timing...still need to get that done perfect but other than that..and when i am coming to a stop it wants to stall and die...timing?

 

actually i have the same problem, im pretty sure its timing

------------------
90 RS 305 tbi, 4 3/4" cowl Hood, Edelbrock TES headers, Flowmaster exhaust, Crane roller cam, comp roller rockers, vortec heads/intake, ported tbi, w/new injectors, MSD probillet Distributer/ coil, 1 inch tbi spacer, air foil, 14x4 k&n flat base air cleaner, Rebuilt 700r4 w/ B&M shift kit, B&M Megashifter, 3.23 posi, 2 12 RF's with mtx amp, top of line alpine cd player, soon to have 90-91 gfx, z-28 wing, new paintjob, rims, and all new lowered suspension.

 

could be bad timing which will knock more on load, could also be wrong valve lash if its more of a clapping sound, could be loose bearings, try to find if its by the bottom or top of the engine.
