Question Buzzing/clicking on start up.

Hello,

I have a 1976 F100 I6 300 2wd daily driver. In the past couple of days, every time I start it up there is a buzzing/clicking right before it turns over. It turns over fine and it runs good but, the truck is trying to tell me something . Any input is appreciated, thanks.

Did somebody install an electric fuel pump as a booster pump ? Some of them make a clicking sound that you may not hear after the engine starts. JIM
