type44 weirdness & wheel resto

[Chris Dyer]

Patient is a '87 5kcstq w/184k mi. Ok, I'm putting in new temp sensors for
the idle valve and ecu in soon, so hopefully that'll solve my cold idle
problem...

NOW what's happening is a random clickity click sound from behind the dash,
by driver's left knee. (Imagine a frustrated hummingbird trying to get out,
or a hamster typing away at his memoirs...that's the sound.) SEEMS to happen
a bit more often at stop/idle. I pulled off the little relay cover panel,
sound got louder as I got closer, but can't figure out what's causing the
clickity click sound. Maybe one of the relays on the fritz? Things to check?

Wheel Resto: any web sites, books, btdt's on this? I have stock wheels sans
bolt covers (one fell off, removed other 3 cuz I liked the look). Looking to
clean thoroughly, prep (whatever that is), and use "silver alloy wheel
paint" from Griot's.
