:Sad: I couldn't find any info for 1982 but here is some for later 454:-

Mount the chain over the camshaft gear. Arrange the camshaft gear in such a way that the timing marks will line up between the shaft centers and the camshaft locating dowel will enter the dowel hole in the cam sprocket.

Place the cam sprocket, with its chain mounted over it, in position on the front of the van and pull up with the three bolts that hold it to the camshaft.

After the gears are in place, turn the engine two full revolutions to make certain that the timing marks are in correct alignment between the shaft centers.

On 1987-95 models 4.3L 5.0L and 5.7L models, tighten the camshaft sprocket bolts (and nut on the 4.3L), to 21 ft. lbs. (28 Nm). On the 7.4L, tighten them to 20 ft. lbs. (26 Nm).

On 1996-97 models, tighten the camshaft sprocket bolts (and nut on the 4.3L) to 18 ft. lbs. (25 Nm). On the 7.4L, tighten them to 25 ft. lbs. (34 Nm).

head gaskets

not sure why they went, shes a 1982, but only done 32 thousand miles, she seems to have been stood up most of her life,having used her fo the last 2 years may have taken its toll, we do carry loads of spares to accomadate 'her needs', 11 months traveling round Europe last year and only 1 small problem,the fuel pipe collapsed.
we were on our way down to Plymouth when this problem arose,:Sad:
