Hey Guys,

This lovely screeching sound just started up the other day. The car as been in storage all winter, but has been run every 3 weeks since storage 5 months ago. I've driven it twice since since bringing it out. I've stopped driving it in light of the noise. Really, I don't drive the car very much anyway due to some unresolved issues with an engine rebuild.

Anyway, the screeching can get worse. Just not when I'm trying to capture it in all of it's glory. It sounds like it's coming from the intake manifold or maybe the cam cover and not the front of the engine.

Has anyone heard something like this?

Can't tell from the pictures.
Do you have a distributor of any sort on that engine?
Check to make sure the hold down clamp is tight.

Naw. It's distributorless. Sorry for the obscurness of the video point of view. I'm going to tear into this thing as soon as I can. I'm just fishing for some insight into places to look first. Chasing sounds like this always seem to be coming from the least obvious place or the furthest point from where it sounds like the sound is coming from...

I'd pull the accessory belt and see if it goes away.

Not heard underneath? My AC pump could be heard from above in that area but sounded like rod knock underneath. Replaced pump and knock persists

Lol jk it stopped when I cut the AC belt

I'm going to hopefully have time to dig into this tomorrow. Fingers crossed...
