For starters how old is the spark plugs, HT leads, rotor arm, dissy cap?
Which fuel are you using?
Has it just started to happen?
Any other noises problems before this started to happen?
Fuel filler neck ok, any rust holes?
Does the main pump make more noise when running as it could be the lift pump in the fuel tank not working so the car is not getting enough fuel.
There's lots of questions to get you started.

If not have you left a magnet in the fuel tank to catch any rusty bits left floating in there, works well and is easy to do, just don't drop the magnet near the fuel level float in case it sticks to the magnet!
