Another one for you wizards out there.
The car:
	'83 Ford Thunderbird, 5 liter 8, auto

The problem:
	In second gear, if I just push the gas enough to maintain
say, 25 to 30 mph (read: rather lightly), a ringing sound appears from
somewhere vaguely in the front, while it is moving.  Sound can also be
made when climbing a hill, if I push the gas and the engine doesn't feel
like it's up on the powerband yet.  The noise is somewhat predictable,
whether the car is cold or hot.  Ideas?  Is this too trivial an annoyance
to post to net.auto.tech?
