On a new to me ‘66 Belvedere, when I turn the ignition to the on position I get a very noticeable, load, whirring sound – after I turn the key to start and engine has started, it is still there in the background – does anybody know what causes that sound? – is it normal for ’66?

could it be the heater fan motor when key is on?

check that with someone switching the key.

Maybe it has an electric fuel pump, mine does and you can hear it run. Good luck!
