1st thing in the morning I'd take a looooooooong stick, broom handle or something and hold up the starter dust cover, if the sound changes I'd remove the dust cover and see if the sound goes away.

There isn't actually a dust cover currently on the car.

What is the likelyhood this is just the fuel pressure regulator?

Re: how bad is the ticking?
I have them. Mine don't sound like that. They "tick". Maybe a failed smog pump? Unplugged air injection hose into the exhaust manifold?
