1963 Comet w/ a 70's 200ci. (4"/3-5" drop if it matters)
So recently I thought my DS front shoe was slightly dragging cause I was hearing that "swoosh swoosh swoosh" sound from worn out pads but I just did the front brakes a month ago. (shoes, not drums yet). I then realized this morning that I only hear the sound when I'm accelerating, soon as my foot is off the pedal it's quiet, it does get faster with speed up to about 35-40mph then I can't hear it but it could just be too fast or my engine is too loud.
I know this is vague and I'll try to record a video tomorrow, just not easy since I only hear it while driving.
Besides that, the only other thing I think to mention, is that when the engine is cold I hear a little belt whine for the first 30 seconds - 1 min. Not belt slipping/squealing just a rpm whine. Been meaning to check the belts just haven't had a chance.
Any info would be great guys!
And my dirty ride:
Since some will probably comment on it, I'm slowly striping the paint to bare metal then clearing it. Someone decided to spray over the original paint w/ rattle can flat black and painted over most of the trim too. I'm slowly fixing those mistakes.
