First day back to work. It is like they have been waiting for me.
Story on the noise. Pull off interstate to get gas, pull ear plugs and hear a singing sound, like exhaust dragging. Great ground off a pipe. Pull into station, fill up start checking things out. Nothing loose. Start it up and sound is back. Jake says the alternator is wiggling. Fan of alternator is hitting upper bracket. Bottom bolt had loosened and lost the nut, washer and pipe like spacer. Bolt still there. Ended up using a 9/16 - 5/8 closed end combo as a spacer and a spare nut. Brushed off and continued ripping home.
All in all the car performed well considering the short time I took to get it ready.
2.56 gears turned 2800 rpm @ 80 mph. Needed a overdrive. In iowa it will pull any hill and accelerate in high gear.
