H. L. Chauvin - I've thought a lot about recording the sound and posting it here if that's possible. I've had 3 folks listen to the noise in the last week. One is a model A owner since the '60s. No Joy! Today it's off to the locale Antique Club. If I drive at 1/2 throttle and 1/2 advanced there's no noise so I think it will be OK. Someone asked when the noise started. I've only owned the A for a couple of months. When it rolled off the transport it needed brakes so I didn't drive it much. The first time I really drove around the noise was there. That's when I started checking points, timing and buying coils and distributor parts.
