Knocking?

I finally drove my newly acquired 68 Sonett from Los Angeles to Sunnyvale (via the 1 Freeway)last weekend. Been waiting to get one since I sold my '71 went I went away to college. It drove like a champ, but along the way it developed what I can only describe as an intermittent knocking or rattle, that I felt through the gas pedal. It came on more often when going up hill and in 4th gear. I also felt it come on when going down hill while using the engine for breaking. Most of the time I didn't notice it, especially when at a steady state speed, or in lower gears.
My mind said "flat spot on a bearing" but I'm worried it may be a transmission issue, especially since it appears to happen only in 4th gear.
Any ideas?
