[QUOTE=egretparadise;3011310]Please watch and listen to the video. A ticking sound comes in and goes out about every 10 seconds at idle warm temp. What do you think is making the noise?? Winning post gets a free coke or pepsi. (if I can make the ticking stop)

My 86 300sdl sounds the same. The ticking comes and goes. It is louder when the engine is cold. I attribute it to original injectors that are now 26 years old. I have a good hood pad, and all of my underbody panels attached, so unless I have the hood open, I do not hear it very much.
