Re: [T3] Rocks in a tin can sound

I was driving my '73 Sqbk yesterday and in a turn lane waiting on a light. Engaged clutch, shifted into first and as the engine revved, a sound like rocks being shaken in a tin can started. I pulled off immediately and shut down the engine. After removing the hatch for a look, I then restated the engine. At low rpm, no sound. Upon an increase, the loud rattle states.

Any idea where to start first?

Thanks!

Greg I had something similar happen to me when my Fastback was still running and it was a small bolt in the fan housing behind the fan that came loose. Had to take the half of the fan housing off and the fan to fix it. Maybe I will be in the Huntsville area in the next few weeks and look at it for you if you haven't found a solution by then.
