Help, need ig. timing specs 1994 FI 460 Ford V8
On my way back to Texas from Port Angeles, WA last fall the fuel injected 460 Ford V8 in my 1994 Class A Holiday Rambler developed a noisy lifter. After returning to Texas, and at the urging of several friends, I tried silencing the noisy lifter by adding a quart of Marvel Mystery Oil to my crankcase. Surprisingly, it actually helped. However, the noise is still there and I think I may have damaged the pushrod from driving approximately 1,000 miles on the noisy lifter. Yesterday I decided to bite the bullet and replace all the engines hydraulic lifters. It’s a big enough job that I feel it’d be foolish to simply replace the failed lifter.
I could use some technical knowledge from those who’ve worked on early fuel injected 460 Ford V8’s. Yesterday afternoon I embarked on a hydraulic lifter replacement project on my RV’s engine. Unfortunately, I’ll have to remove my engines distributer to ultimately replace the hydraulic lifters. Though I intend to thoroughly mark everything up (I use Whiteout for that task) so that I can put the distributer back in just as I took it out, I’d like to also be able to set the ignition timing dynamically with my timing light. My Chilton’s manual refers to an under-hood sticker. This information would be useful if my rig were a Class C and not a Class A (in other words there is no under-hood sticker on my Class A to refer to). Would anyone out there have the ignition timing specs for a fuel injected 1994 Ford 460 V8 with the TFI-IV distributer system.
