i had it at a shop for a mechanics diagnosis of why it was not running right he said the carb needed to be rebuilt so i had it towed home so i did not have to fight it home it was not making this ticking nose when the tow truck picked it up and it was on a flat bed so i don't know what happened

Any lights flickering or anything?. The ticking could be the contacts in a relay opening and closing. I'm sure there are other, worse possibilities but I don't know what they are. If you are sure that its inside the dash and not in the engine bay (ie not the starter motor or something) I would try pulling the relays that are below the steering wheel one at a time and see if it stops. I know there are two for headlights and I think a couple others.
