Death Rattle

["Michael S. Sweigart" <msweigart@domain.elided>]

This isn't good, but I hope it is something else. My 1982 GTV6 has developed
what I termed the "death rattle". When the car is idling low, there is a
rattling clunking sound that can be heard from the engine area.

Not sure if it is transaxle, clutch, engine or what. I do envision that
there is a loose rod somewhere though. Perhaps my "half empty" outlook on
this car?

Above idle the car runs great- very peppy with no sounds of clunking or
rattling.

Any ideas before I drag her down to the mechanics?

Thanks,
Hopeful in New Jersey

Hey all!

I'm new to the board and would like to thank all with the help on my GTV6
fuel
line issue.  Wow, great response!  Pinpoint information.  I am interested in
thoughts on aftermarket wheels for 82 GTV6 and suitable sizes.  I have heard
that custom drilling is needed on most apps.  What options do I have?

Again, thanks for all the help!
