It does not sound any different cold vs hot.

I would definitely call it a sewing machine noise. The 1/4 turn I gave it might've decreased the "clacking" that sounded like a typewriter-- the video...

When I had a Chevy 350 in my 66 Tempest, I had the same issue. Wound up using a pipe to gently dent the pan where it was hitting. Worked great.

Thanks for all your advice. Calling the machine shop tomorrow. The Edelbrock ports are actually a lot smaller than the Speedmaster ones so I'll probably get that done too. Just more time and money!...
