A weak #1 injector makes total sense! An injector with a weak spring will open earlier and make the timing appear to be more advanced. Advanced timing will definitely rattle more. I think you nailed your timing mystery.

Yup, smoke at idle could be a lot of things tho. 
Good thing you don't have it.

Check timing on cyl 4 and compare
Probably will do that in a little bit.
Right now the AC is pumping down. With the warm days, I needs my AC back.

Got the lines re-routed to fit a little better. Tossed some heat shield on over the turbo area. Hopefully that all clears.
Update #2.
AC charges. Drier temp is like 36F. Low side pressure is 35-37 after 36 oz is actually spot on to a hair over for the outside temp.
Okay. Think we are okay on that front.
Okay. While I was at it and had it warmed up.... I checked timing. Checked #1 first. 9.2. Right where I set it. Checked #4. 8.3. Well, there’s your problem. Man I got all the luck. It just happens to be bad. I guess at least it’s not an internal problem making the noise. That injector is all over the place. It doesn’t show the same behavior as #4 at all through the rpm range. So I set it to 9 by #4 for now.
Add one more thing to deal with this winter. [emoji21]

I’d check those resistors, I’ve had brand new ones last me a week
Well I have to say I’m pretty happy with the old girl. We hitched up and took off with the camper and it ran great. I actually saw 17 psi at one point. 5th gear, foot flat on the floor for a while up hill just to see what it would do. 15+ psi and 1000 EGT. Yes ladies and gentlemen that means I pretty much am able to use all my fuel. About the third time I did it it blew an IC boot and we quickly learned how much NA sucks for a couple miles. 
New hitch setup works pretty well. Still a little fine tuning to do there but it’s better than before.
Pretty much got 10 mpg towing at faster than I should have been. [emoji6]
If she holds together by next year I’ll have a very solid tow rig I believe. May not win a lot of races up the mountains but I don’t think I’ll be in flashers and truck lane territory either.
