Have a hollowing sounding knocking/rattling noise coming from the front of the motor (72 454). Appears to be coming from the pulley, belt, water pump area.
I have only owned the car for about a month, so I am not as attuned to its noises and creaks, but I am very sure this is a noise that has just recently arisen and is not right. It is loud enough that you can hear it with the hood shut from a few feet away.
Although I am new to chevelle's and 60/70 era cars in general, a have done my fair share of wrenching during my linfe. Just used to later model cars. So treat me kindly please
I felt a decent amount of play in the fan clutch shaft so I replaced that today hoping that is what was rattling/knocking, but no dice. Besides that I have done the basics of making sure nothing is loosing and rattling against something, but it is not that type of rattle anyhow. It seems to be rpm dependent but hard to tell for sure.
Car is running fine, motor feels strong and runs smooth.
Car has working AC. The AC belt seems visually a little off compared to the others. Has a little bit of side to side vibration when moving, but that is about the only thing that looks visually off. Just throwing that out there, not that I think it is the problem
Ideas for me to start checking? happy to take any needed pictures or video if needed.
