Got a '66 230 Chev. in my '55 GMC. At idle of 600rpm,I have a rattle comming from the front of the engine… this with belt removed… only the lower pulleys turning. off idle at say 900+, no rattle. What could it be? Oil seal not leaking.

Try removing the fuel pump, and/or use a long screwdriver or a broomstick like a stethoscope. It's not uncommon for fuel pump linkage to get worn and rattle.
