TB? Whistle
I thought I read something about this, but my search found nothing.
'85 4+3 Stock
I get this whistling sound at about 2700rpm and during a firm accelleration AND when I let off the gas on the hiway. It sounds like air forcing its way through a small opening. It made it once during a cold startup in the 40s. It sounds like it's coming from the TB/Intake area.
Could this be a leak somewhere? Could the TB flutes be moving?

Actually, I had a BBK that did the same thing occasionally.
