Another problem with my 84 Daytona. The first time I start it up every day it runs quiet and nice. But if I go somewhere for lunch, leave work, or any other time during the day it makes a really annoying chugging sound for a few minutes. It's only on acceleration, sounds like an old Ford pickup! My first thought was an exhaust leak, I replaced the donut and bolts with no change. As soon as it warms up a little it goes away.
Now I don't know if it's related but this isn't the only weird sound this car makes. Over 2500 RPM's it has a really loud metallic rattle, sounds like two cookie sheets being slapped together. I think this is a heat/dust shield, but I haven't been able to find it and make it stop. It started after installing front and passenger side poly mounts. Two other TM buddies have listened to it and can't place it, other than it's from the back of the motor somewhere.
