Ugh - fixed the exhaust pipe where it was hitting the splash pan, and I am still getting the dang rattle.

Also used the engine as a distributor test stand, since I cannot find anyone local to me with one. With the engine idling at 450 rpm, and the vacuum advance line disconnected, the timing is wobbling by plus or minus 1 degree of advance - so I suspect bushings, which I think I could fix.

But, with the engine revved up to 900 rpm, I get 3 degrees of advance (perfect) and 7 degrees of advance at 2200 RPM (3 degrees too low). So I either have a weight or a spring problem, which I don't have the tools or ability to correct.

I'll get that taken care of, but not convinced it will fix my rattle. Time will tell.

Merry Christmas!
