Sorry, I feel like I'm posting every 5 minutes the past few weeks. I just can't see to get over the hump on my RPM issue and this post is indirectly related.
To make it more exciting, I have also added a new problem in the process. I upgraded to HEI distributors on both engines, plugs and wires. (Video link below)
Does anyone recognize what this sound might be? I swapped distributors first, then the cap/rotor. and the issue did not move. It's coming from right inside the cap. If I loosen the lockdown and move the rotor slightly, (like adj the timing), the sound will change and I can "feel" it. The other side is fine. It does not have a heavy sound, it almost sounds like an old whiny power steering pump on a car.
Any ideas appreciated on this issue. I was hoping to get this side buttoned up because any other fuel/pressure testing I do on this engine is accessible with my wet bar reinstalled. I have to feel good about this first though.
