> Before I start taking apart wheels and brakes and everything on right side of my '71 Sqbk, I thought to ask...what might be causing no driving/braking oddities EXCEPT an odd noise.? It's a sort of high-pitched squeal...but more like a cartoon turkey vibrating gobble...kinda rubbery, but who knows?...that happens when depressing accelerator on the road, and sometimes even when braking at highway speed.?? Doesn't happen in neighborhood driving, or when foot off accelerator..
> Take foot off accelerator..the squeal/gobble stops.? Just touch accelerator, it's back.? And not all the time.??? Very intermittent.

> That noise MUST be familiar to others.?? Results of checks?

> The results were that 2 were at 55-65% one at 85% and one at 95%. It was stated that the brain was reading a lean mixture and increasing the fuel thereby over fueling the other 2. That seems consistent with what I experienced in two plugs fouling at a slow but increasing rate...
