[T3] Horibble noise from Fan Housing


1970, T-3, fastback, 1600, auto, with 2 weber 34 ICT's. a header system

Maybe somebody can help me out.. There is a horrible crashing sound coming
from my fan housing.. It sounds like there is a broken fan blade or
something.. it doesn't happen all the time the engine is running, only when
I rev it a bit.  Now I am scared to drive it,, (its my daily driver)  Please
give me advice.

Without removing the engine.. I removed:
the bellows, the cooling air intake, the Crankshaft pulley, and the back fan
housing.. (all hard work)
started the engine and it still makes that terrible sound every once awhile.
I had just the fan with nothing around it and it was still making that
sound.
Soo.. I removed the fuel pump and put in a new electric fuel pump and
regulator, hoping that would help.
no good.
The sound is very loud and sounds like a loose blade or something..

dont know if any of you have had this problem.. You have helped me lots so
far.
Thanks,,  Ralph
