OK, anybody ever heard their engine at idle sound like it had crickets - like on a summer evening - but it is idling... Odd. I know that the timing is set right... that would have been my first guess. Nothing rubbing that I can find.
If it is not your tail pipes on a stock muffler, then it is your breaker point rubbing block. A light coating of moly disulfide grease on the breaker cam. Lubricate forthwith. ( that means NOW!) Colin
Definitely not fweem. When it quits raining I will check. It seemed to come and go. I wanted to be sure it wasn't the vacuum advance sticking a little and keeping too much advance at idle. I will put some lube on the distributor cam too. Thanks for the quick responses... until I can get a dry spell in the weather to put the disk brakes back together on my daughter's '93 Accord I don't have a backup!
Kirk, it's probably the bearings on your new alternator.
( just kidding )
I now have one of those factory Alternator stands if you are intersted. 10 bucks. ( it needs to be cleaned up severely and maybe remove the filler part and refinish it also.)

It's is not, it isn't ain't, and it's it's, not its, if you mean it is. If you don't, it's its. Then too, it's hers. It isn't her's. It isn't our's either. It's ours, and likewise yours and theirs. -- Oxford University Press, Edpress News
Once I had an extra noise in my engine that was just like crickets on acid. It turned out to be the tin rubbing against the mainfold. Could you pinpoint the precise origin of the noise?
