What is this noise.

I am hearing a "squeal" type noise, right at 4000-5000 rpms.Just started before putting her to sleep for the winter. 1980 model with just 20000 miles.

Any starting point will help.

Thanks,

Brett

The noise is coming from under the hood.

Yep belts are the most likely culprit. Put some soap on the belts, if that quiets the squeel then there's your souce.
