HELP! Engine knock at high RPM.
So ive got this pretty loud metallic engine knock at high RPM. Its really bad when im in 3rd and hitting about 6k rpm. Replaced fuel filter, Has new plugs, wires, cap and rotor. Is this a timing issue. Ive tired playing with the timing. Fully advanced and retard. Though im not sure which way is which. Just i turned it as far as it can go either way. Any help would be awsome

Make sure that you don't have a loose spark plug. Make sure the distributor cap is on straight, and isn't chewing on the rotor.
Get a timing light and set your timing, you don't want to guess with something like that. Some old timers can tune the timing by ear and feel, but I get the feeling you aren't an old timer.
And check this thread out for other suggestions: https://www.rx7club.com/1st-generation-specific-1979-1985-18/stock-82-gs-12a-clicking-ticking-noise-771078/
Good luck.
