    Phil wonders where everyone is???

    check and see if the ticking is the engine "pinging". sometimes after 120,000 miles the distributor might be having a sticking problem and not advancing when its cold.

    the ticking could also be your valve lifters are not getting oil because it too heavy to get up to those areas due to the high milage and perhaps a worn-out oil pump- time for a pressure gauge to see what is going on.
