Default Clicking on the 302 Engine

I had the video eariler, and I went through and did the guide about tightening all the rockers. However, After doing that, it still is there. (the sound clicking). I did unplug each spark plug and started the car, and I found the click went away when the Number 7 piston spark plug was unpluged. ( Engine sounded good and kinda smooth). So, since I found were the noise is comming from. What is the next logical thing to do?

FYI, When i am driving it and it heats up, the noise is bariely there. and sometimes, I do not even hear the click when Its been warm for awhile at idle. But it does sometimes, when I rev it up, you do hear it.

Any suggestions! Thanks!!!

I did replace the spark plug and the wires.... The Clicking was barely there when i started the engine. I think that helped some!
Thanks!
