You 'sure' are 'not' describing engine ping.
You also don't have a distributor to go bad.
A stone stuck in a tread can cause a strange ticking that gets louder
with speed, so can a leak in the exhaust.

Oh, I didn't realize that I don't have a distributor. Goes to show
you how much I am still learning! ; )
I know there are a few stones stuck in the treads. I'll clean them
out tonight and see if that makes any difference.
Is there a sure-fire way to tell if I have a leak in the exhaust?

Oh, I didn't realize that I don't have a distributor. Goes to show
you how much I am still learning! ; )
I know there are a few stones stuck in the treads. I'll clean them
out tonight and see if that makes any difference.
Is there a sure-fire way to tell if I have a leak in the exhaust?

LOL!
Stones in 'my' tires drive me nuts with a strange ticking, I hate it so
I always go after them on sight.
You also 'really' have to watch out on gravel roads with those tires.
The stuck stones let go at speed and the 'TWANGGGGG' as one bounces off
the roll bar by your ear is a very unnerving noise. The Howl when one
nails your elbow you had out the window is worse! I now know to keep my
arms 'inside' when on gravel roads...
