☺86 T/A Project☺

OK, i got a 77 350 Chevy motor, it runs fine, but im hearing some noises, sounds like a clickin Hummin noise, 1 thing i think it might be, is the Coolant system, the large coolant Hose coming from the radiator to the Block, the hose exspands more then just pressureized, i think, and the gasket on the block is Shot, and leaks, maybe that might be the noise... but the noise is Hard to hear, i dont think its visable, might be somewhere under or near the block, Not sure, might be timing chain, Dunno, not good with engines, 1 more thing that i was curious about was i gave it a tune up rotor, dist cap Ect Ect, ran better, but the new spark plugs made the car run like **** and there were gas on them like they didnt spark, PUT the olds one back in that were kinda fouled out, Ran 100% better, Bosch Supers, new ones were Ac Delco's, been told that Boschs Are ****ty, but maybe not 4 a 77 350 . . . Well Any Opinions Apperciated
