Re: Loud clicking from my '52

If your car has power steering, take a listen to the power steering pump at the base of the fluid reservoir. I hear a noise like a lifter tap although it happens intermittently either cold or warm, unlike yours. I traced the noise to the steering pump after eliminating the valve train, fuel and water pumps, etc. A friend of mine that has a '53 Caribbean told me he had a similar noise that went away when he had the steering pump replaced. I'm putting up with the noise for now since it is intermittent and I see no fault in the pump's functioning.
