Re: dying 305?

You mean flexplate. Maybe the flexplate to crank bolts are loose.

Re: dying 305?

It may be the EFE valve in the exhaust. Happened to mine. Sounded like a bad lifter. It is on the passenger side just downstream of the exhaust manifold. Try disconnecting the vacuum line to it and plugging it and see if the sound goes away. (That is if you have stock exhaust). Just a thought.
----------
if it is EFE valve. No big deal. It's just emissions. Plug the vac line and leave it alone.
