If it were a 1956, it would probably be on its way to me now as I'm not daunted by mysterious ticking noises and it is a beautiful car. I have really enjoyed watching your progress on it.

After I rebuilt by 1965 Cadillac Fleetwood's engine, it ticked and sounded just like a lifter but I learned very quickly that it was the dipstick touching the crank. I had replaced the dipstick tube but didn't realize it had to be bent underneath after installation! It was that way for years until it finally broke off on the way to a PAC board meeting in Berkeley, CA. Finally a few years ago I fixed it and quiet ever since.
