A worn ball bearing set on the input shaft will give out a tick when the bearing shows its bad spot to the race.
 
A nice clacking sound. Kind of random. Listen to the front of the trans with a stethoscope or long screw driver handle pressed to your ear.

Yes, I am using the stock (Heavy) flywheel.   I am also using the stock Mazda coils (with a 20 watt .33 ohm resistor added to the leading coil, as per Tracy's guide) that came with the '88 engine, and Tracy's EC2. 
I'll try to determine if the sound is coincidental with one of the plugs firing.
 
I appreciate the help.
 
Thanks,
 
Tom
