My car "moaned"... is it sad?


Recommended Posts

I've been driving my 327'd '72 to work now for two weeks. No major problems. Sometimes when coming to a stop, it would "moan" a bit, as drum brakes will do once in a while. However, yesterday I pulled into my little parking space, pulled on the emergency brake - and it gave a sorrowful moan for *at least* five seconds after I had come to a complete stop. It sounded, I kid you not, like a cow. "Mooooooooooooooo..." It was kind of spooky. I'm not the worlds best mechanic, God knows, but I'm pretty sure this is wrong.

 

It sounds like it's coming from the back, but you know how sound wiggles around a car. I'm thinking fuel system? I've got a high-pressure MSD electric fuel pump (which was off at the time of the, um, "utterance"), pumping directly from the tank, no reservoir. Pressure is steady at idle. So far as I can tell, all the tank vent lines are clear.

 

Any ideas?
