Knocking noise after minor driving and garaging. (Solved)

Looking for some feedback

Recently I have just been slowly installing a body kit to my car and I have garaged it for about a week or so. Today I took it to work and after about 5 minutes driving it I noticed the the knocking noise and it became louder as I accelerated. My gauges are fine, oil pressure, no check engine. Oil level is also fine. I do still have my omp if thats to any use. Car us fairly stock around 107k miles 1988. I feel maybe it could be the carbon build up, I'd appreciate any feedback, thank you.

Welcome to the forum.

I think you'd need to be more specific on what the knocking sound is, where it's emanating from, etc.
Does it match engine RPM or wheel speed?
Does it sound like suspension?
