Engine Noise?

Engine Noise?
My father in law rebuilt the 260 thats in the car now in 1996 and then the car was not driven that much untill bought it about 10 yrs ago. Within the past month there is a weird noise that sounds like a fan clutch tick or tapping sound. I've replaced the fan clutch water pump and a pulley since. Maybe a fuel pump or timing chain or even a bad pulley? Will a bad fuel pump make that kind of noise? It chirps away at idle and light throttle. Is there a way to upload a sound clip on here?

Sorry for a dumb question but most of the olds fuel pumps look like they are installed upside down to me. With the fittings facing up. Mine is sitting with the fittings facing down. Does this change per year/ engine size or even the brand of pump?

Check your pulley on the crank shaft for cracks, mine was cracked on my Vette, made a ticking sound. It drove me crazy until finally i saw it wobbling a little. This was after i bought a new power steering pump that didnt fix the problem. It did go away when i loosened the power steering belt, and came back when i tightened it. Anyway took of the crank pulley and it had a nice crack by one of the bolt holes. New pulley, no tick!

smitty did you listen at around 25sec to the end its easier to hear at that point. Crank up those speakers lol. The clackity clack sound. I noticed there was a lower power steering to block bracket bolt was missing. ugh

Ok I finally had a chance to work on the engine noise. I removed the belts one at a time. The a/c is already gone so the alt belt was first and the noise was still there. Once the power steering belt was removed it was all quiet. ??
