light rattle under acceleration

Hi guys,
Another question that has me stumped. My 75 camper has this rattle when ever the revs are low and you put your foot down ,you hear this rattle that sounds like washers on  large screw or something??Once revs have increased  noise goes away. Oil is fine and good quality. recently changed.
I have heard this on other old cars too. I hope someone knows this sound and how to fix it...  Thanks for your help

Have you checked the motor and box mounts
The noise may be travelling ...
If not install a bigger stereo and subwoofer  Shocked

Sounds rather as if the engine is "pinking". Either your petrol octane rating is too low, or your ignition timing is too far advanced.

My old engine had some thing similar.  rattle on idil, then as you put some revs on, it would just stop, ease off and it starts again.  Had a lot of problems tracing mine.  

Think it was either down to flywheel shims/O ring being shot or not set right.  Did wonder if it could just be some random bolt loose somewhere. but it would have rattled loose over time or changed sound i'd have thought so don't think its that.

Good luck finding it!

Does it do it while stationery or only when driving?
I think you have standard dissy and not an 09 from memory.
