same thing happened to me at Corvettes @Carlisle on the way home from the Sat night dinner. wow, what a weird sound.
thought I had blown at HG
in my case the car must have backed off the plug and been running like that for a while. threads had to be chased.
Dr. Phil was my hero and ran me around in his 402 (what a nice car!) and helped me get the LSV back to Alex Va with zero drama.
check that #8!!! I now check the torq on the plugs when installing and go back after a few heat cycles to make sure all is well.
