I have a 73 charger with a 400 and there is a ticking or clicking sound coming from the bell housing.I pulled the inspection cover and didn't find any cracks where it bolts to the torque converter,could this be cracked where it bolts to the crank or could this be the converter? Thanks,Jim Last edited by suit-case; 04/10/10 10:37 AM.

If that doesn't fix it, the flex plate could be loose/cracked at the crank or an internal converter problem. I recently had a B&M converter that was blowing up and it sounded EXACTLY like a loose/cracked flex plate. That sound was intermittent though. "That Plymouth had a Hemi with a Torqueflite." -Driver
