"Fluttering"? Does it look electrical or could it just be oil surging in and out of the tank?

I never top it off. Settle for 3/4ths even 1/2. If I don't park on the level a little oil gets past her valve guides and it will produce blue smoke at start up.

You probably knew all that. Sorry.
It does look electrical. You can even hear it banging around it is pretty violent. Caused by the wiper intermittently contacting the resistor coils.

Yes, I do know how to check the oil, I have had this 911 for over 20 years.
