Clicking noise while accelerating?

Find a shop with a " car dynomometer " so it can be scoped while they simulate the road coditions you describe .I am betting it is in the ignition timing [focusing on spark advance problems] also oxygen sensors play into this as well .

SPARKS TUNE-UP SHOPS had car dyno's built into the floor of some of their shops to do that and other services as well .
