Default Engine noise?

I can't figure what this noise is, I thought it was the generator, but with belt off still noise. Can a distributor make that noise? Listen! Thanks for any ideas. https://youtu.be/xT-iWu5VVcw

A worn vac brake piston/bore can make some pretty strange noises.You might disconnect and plug the vac line and start it again. If the noise goes away,that's the culprit.

The distributor is the only exterior part turning with the belts off. Must be in there and gotta be that bearing thingy.
