I have 1999 dodge ram 1500 with 360 engine. I have a spark knock, I covered all the basics with no result. I was told to look in the throttle body and i if there was oil laying down in their it needed an intake gasket and that it would cause the spark knock. Am I on the right track?

It sounds like you have a bad tank of gas can you try filling it up with higher octane fuel? There is no timing adjustment or knock sensor so fuel related is the best bet.

Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
