Horrible noise...desperately need help 1800

posted by  someone claiming to be Davidws on  Sat Nov 13 05:58 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I have a '64 1800 that me and my father restored together. Shes hardly been out on long trips but recently i had to drive her to college. Ive made the trip about 3 times now. On the second trip i started to hear something, i thought it was some sort of ping, but it was so faint i thought it could just be a vibration somewhere. Then on my way back to school, the noise started to get worse. The trip was 5 hours and the noise just grew exponentially. At first, i thought it was coming from up front, like the fan was lose...there wasnt anything i could do about it in the middle of nowhere so i kept going and by the time i got where i was going it was so loud i couldnt tell where it was coming from. The engine idle dropped about 500 rpm and i was using the choke to keep it up where it should be. When i got a chance, i took off the valve cover and inspected stuff...couldnt see anything wrong, oil looked fine- not cooked. The oil level was fine as well. Im working in the parking lot of my university, so without some place to start looking im pretty lost. Please help if you can Thank you!
