Interesting turn of events this weekend. I was coming back from a cruise in, just a Friday night meetup of about 80 cars at the local Freddys hamburger joint, and I head this strange sound like something rattling under the hood at 3500 rpm, but would go away at 3000 rpm. I started checking things on Saturday, and figured it was the fan clutch, a Flex-a-lite that's been on the car since I rebuilt it. Well I have a heavy duty Hayden fan clutch, so I swapped it out, problem disappeared, and all is quiet, except, when I rev the engine I can hear the air and the fan pulling a lot of air. I went for a cruise after words, and noticed that my temp gauge is now a bit below middle instead of dead center and also that when I run my AC, its colder. So, when I got home, I left the car running and went to pop the hood, and noticed that I could feel air being pulled into the grille. I thought wow this is great, but was wondering since I have never had this before, can you feel the air being pulled into your front grille?
