Sorry for the long delay. We finally found out the issue: the power steering pump. The pump pulley has a lot of back and forth play and hits the pump body. Tightening the belt got rid of the sound. I am 75% that was the issue :sweat_smile:
I checked around the flexplate, used a digital scope as...
It did have the inspection cover. Is there a separate tc shield?
I did lose a carburetor nut recently:/
Have had this car for about six months now and haven’t done any work around that area…I think I’ll have to really get under it while it’s running and see what’s going on.
It does look like the flexplate is hitting something.
I put some sharpie on it to make sure the damage is fresh, and it is.
All the bolts seem to be snug. What else is there?

Interesting thing about the fuel pump, I see about 4-5psi of pressure. It used to be around 7. But the...

I must've rotated it while tightening the cable? Is it easier to adjust it from the...

However, just the left most bulb is working. This one is not connected directly to the cluster circuit.
The central connector needs to be wiggled for the indicator and oil light to work. Even...
So, found the fusebox. It's on the driver side and can be accessed from the underside. And yes, the instrument panel fuse is blown.
Found this late as I've got the cluster out of the dash. There are a few blown bulbs in there so glad I got it out.
Now just trying to figure out how to put the...
