Ok when I bought the car it made this clicking sound so I bought new spark plugs, wires, and a new distributor cap. The clicking went away until recently. I changed the sparkplug wires again for some 8.5 super conductors and I got a new MSD coil. I turned the car on and this time I wasnt sucessful. Anyone know what this can be? It sounds like the heads but I could be wrong. [sm=WTFsgign.gif]

 

well i don'tknow if your clicking noise could be a rod knocking...i don't know your definition of clicking...

 

Bad lifter? Loose rocker?

 

Lifter, rocker, leak in headers, umm brocken fan.

 

Its not the fan but how could leaking headers cause a clicking? btw I like your headlights cobra.

 

when you have an exhaust leak from the header or pretty much anywhere it will make a clicking noise. sounds like metal to metal. The weird thing is that it went away then came back..

 

Yeah headers may sound like metal on metal, I thought it was the same thing, I thought it was rockers or lifters but it turned out the old cast iron headers were cracked. Go to your nearest muffler shop and ask them to take a look it should be free but if not oh well.
Thank you by the way.

 

he could jack the car up and look for carbon spots on the gasket or header....try retighten the header bolts

 

what do the carbon spots look like?

 

black dust
