it could be the the check valve on the air injector pipe for the exhaust system off of the smog pump.it is located on the passenger side. if it is bad it will make that kind of noise.

Pull the airbox off & the 2 hoses to the throttle body to get access to the dizzy.
Plugs: Take the doghouse off.
The left hand bank (from drivers seat looking forward) of plugs are real easy to get access: they point back atcha.
The rear 3 on the right bank are fairly easy, but the worst one is the front- I turn my wheel and go through the wheel well with a long extension & a UJ.
The wires are the same: easy on the left bank, nightmare on the right.
I can do my plugs in under an hour (but I stuck those Bosch Platinum +4's in so I don't have to do it so often
) including taking the doghouse off & on.

I tried those bosch platinum plugs and talk about yuck. Made my 351 run like crap. I also succesfully melted the electroded on 2 of them so beware of bosch plugs in a ford engine. I hear a loud "buzz" or flutter on acceleration, it is my pcv valve's check valve moving under the escaping crankcase pressures. It is normal for an engine with high miles , if you want to eliminate the noise rebuild the engine.

I used those plugs in my Ranger- it used to suffer from terrible blow-by and would foul plugs in about a month.
The +4's didn't foul for 18 months.
Running fine in the 302 too.
Besides, if ya don't like 'em, Bosch will give you your money back.
