Welcome Rick, jump right in and post away, no need to wait.
Good to hear the 52 F1 Flathead is running, Snowking/Ryan and Effie_man/Chris will be along soon to congratulate you on that! They may even tell you how to get rid of the knock in the fuel pump.
Great to hear you`re getting started in restoring it and later on post some pictures on your new toy!
I know the rod that comes from the block that pushes the "trigger" on the fuel pump was quite near and dear and would wear out. Most often this caused a fuel supply issues but I imagine could also create a knocking sound.
