Well, I'm kind of in a tight spot. The car was originally in the speed shop for minor things i.e custom trailing arms, rear diff service, hub bearings re-greased, etc.

Then, the one day I took the car out to enjoy (maybe 75 miles driven). As I was bringing the car back to the shop, I could here a moderate (I say moderate as the engine is so loud hard to discern volume of noise) ticking I'll describe it, BUT only while the car was at a rolling idle. Once stopped, I wasn't sure if I could hear anything. I drove it for another few miles on the way to the shop and it started to spudder a bit. Once I stopped the car stalled and wouldn't start back up again ( new mechanical Holley fuel pump was added). I thought to myslef, perhaps it got vapor locked...

Nonetheless, a rollback came and picked me up to bring the car back to the shop. It sat over the weekend. On Monday, the shop started the car right up (I wasn't there) and heard the noise I was describing and killed it. Here we are today.

I wish I could figure out how to post some pictures on this forum to show you guys. I believe I've got mechanical lifters with flat tappets.
