Default 1993 Nissan Altima

Hello,

I recently bought a used 1993 Nissan Altima as a daily driver.
Yesterday, when I tried to fire it up, a huge cloud of black smoke
came out of the exhaust and the car made this horrible sound.

The car does not start anymore. When I try to start it, all I hear is
this click/knocking sound in the engine bay area.

If anyone can help me out as to what this might be I'd greatly
appreciate it!

Thanks!

My wild ass guess is that you have an injector flooding the engine and
now you are hydrolocked.
