Greetings all-
Not sure what my problem is, so it's hard to search old forum posts. I have a new unpleasant sound at ignition in my ‘67 SV about 25% of the time. This occurs at the first turn of the key to ignition, but not all the way to engage the starter. It sounds like a high revving, spinning or whining sound; not a clicking sound. It sounds like something spinnng up to speed, but it’s pretty loud. The car will start, but the sound doesn’t always stop. Sometime I can turn it off & turn it on again , and the sound will not reoccur. When I turn it off, I can hear “the rotation” slowing down and then stop. What is this? Starter? Solenoid problem? Alternator?
