I have a 1995 R-model with a 351 and there is a ticking noise from under the hood which occurs more often at lower rpm when cold and higher rpm when warm.
This ticking noise occurs after acceleration when I am lifting from the throttle pedal as to maintain speed or shift (it does not do it if I am decelerating). If I get back on the throttle the noise goes away until I lift from the accelerator pedal to maintain speed or shift. (keep in mind I am not depressing the clutch).
As noted, the problem occurs at lower rpm (like 2200+) when the engine is cold and elevates to higher rpm when warm (like 3200+).
Any insight as to the trouble spot?
Thank you for your interest and any insight or replies. Hopefully someone knows what this exactly is so I can move on. The car is otherwise perfect and has done this since the day I bought it, it has not gotten worse or changed in any way. The ticking noise only occurs under load (so I cannot simulate standing along side the car with the hood open).
