Hi guys, this is my first post to the forums so I apologize in advance if this it the wrong place for this question.
I just recently put an upper and lower BBK intake on my 89 GT 5.0. While I had it torn down I also put in new plugs, MSD ignition and distributor and MSD plug wires. I have the BBK 70mm throttle body and cold air intake in the boxes ready to go but ran into this issue.
After completing the intake install, I started the car and even though the timing is clearly off by a degree or so, I have a nasty ticking sound. The only thing I can compare it to is loud lifter tick. It follows the RPM curve so that if you rev the motor, the ticking accelerates as well. I'm pretty baffled as to what could be causing this ticking since I only did the lower\upper intake. Does anyone have any thoughts as to what may be causing this noise? The car has sat in my garage while I did this for about 5-6 weeks.
