What are some of the symptoms of engine knock in a 77 Trans Am other than a knocking sound?

Engine "knock" is preignition or detonation of the air-fuel mixture before the piston is in power stroke position. It is usually caused by a lean fuel mix. So to check for preignition, check your plugs for signs of lean running.
