Current on BAT, decided to ask here rather than there since I don't want to interfere with the auction as I'm not a potential buyer.

Def sounds like valve train needs adjustment. Or maybe it has hydraylic lifters and it needs to run a while to pump them up.

My 73 with a rebuilt engine I believed to have these as well, when I first fired it up it scared the heck out of me but once it ran for a bit it went away. |
