Alex,

Sorry,  Can't help on the problem,  but that's one hell of a commute?  And I 
thought my commute of 100 miles a day was bad...  How many miles are on the car?

I was driving home tonight in my 74 B (101,500 miles).  the car started fine
and ran well.  after about 2 miles of street driving, I started hearing
noises... metallic knocking noises when the engine was under load
(accelerating).  I also noticed a significant loss of power. the car idled
very rough and hesitated to rev up.

whaddya think?  stuck valve? broken piston ring?

what's the first thing I should check?
