1978 Malibu Classic Ticking noise

[tokelokenem]

Hi i have a 305 V8 '78 malibu classic that has allways made this sound since i owned it. I think its the torque converter bolts that are loose. Does anyone know where those are? And can i tighten them without pulling anything? Here's a vidhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESQIPApw38U&feature=youtu.be

there's a plastic inspect cover that you remove to get to the bolts for the flexplate and torque converter but that noise sounds like your flexplate may be cracked

My 78 Monte makes a light ticking noise. Sound like its coming from around the distributor. I dont know. But anyways, you would basically have to almost take down your transmission to change the flywheel. Not hard, only 3 bolts connect to the flywheel frm torque converter. And 6 bolts from flywheel to bacj of the engine.
