Well just did a muffler repair on the 73 T3 is now very quiet (Or was) After repairing the header connection on to the right heat exchanger and installing new clamps a test drive proved a great success. I later opened the v-belt inspection cover and checked the belt for deterioration and tension all seemed well. Shortly after I was taking the wife to town for a quieter ride and a funny sounding clanging sound was coming from the engine compartment. Upon closer inspection I have discovered that the crankshaft pulley seems to be rattling against the fan housing. I returned straight home parked it and continued to town in my truck. Does anyone have any idea why this pulley is loose? Can it have worn out, or is it just loose? Will be tearing into it in the morning.
