Could be rod bearings - not a good sign. This is a sign of pre-failure of the engine.

Why does your 1994 Chrysler Lhs oil light on and the engine is knocking?

When the oil light is on, it means you have low oil pressure. This can be caused by low oil level. When you first start the car, the oil light will come on momentarily, then turn off to signify that proper oil pressure has been reached. An engine knocking usually indicates that the engine is about to stall.

You have 85 celebrity 28 carb loud knocking from lower engine loss of power oil changed regulary no leakage usage took oil cap off with engine running looked dry could it be oil pump or rod knocking?

The rod knocking is caused by loss of oil pressure. Did the oil light not come on? That light is red, red means stop. Do not start this engine again until the problem is corrected. You are probably looking at way more than just installing a new oil pump if the engine was run for very long without oil pressure. A complete overhaul may be in order.
