Tapping from Camaro Engine - anyone got any ideas?

[3Pedal_Z06]

I am up at my sister's for Chrstmas in Mountain Home, ID, and was going to take the '67 out for a spin. We are getting a metalic tapping sound coming out of the carb. It is a lot louder under power. I am not an engine expert, but can't think of anyting in a carb that would make a RPM related tapping sound.

Anyone got any thoughts or ideas?

It is a 327, btw.

Thanks

Probably a lifter, but it could be a pushrod as well. (or something more sinister) Try to get a mechanic friend to listen. A trained ear can tell alot.

Check the rocker arms first make sure that's all good than work your way down rocker stud,pusrod, lifter and lastly the cam. also could be a bent or sticky valve has the car been sitting for a while?

The car has been sitting, it gets used very little. In fact, I was going to help the give it the once over before they put it on the market.

I will try to get someone who knows more about these listen to it.
