ticking sound can be caused by the hydraulic tappet lifters being warn.also can be caused by low oil level or wrong viscosity oil.also can be caused by a dry distributer shaft. if distributor cap is removed you will see a little felt bad against the distributor shaft
if this is dry, apply couple of drops of oil to the pad.this will then lubricate the shaft and stop the noise if this is where it is coming from.
another cause could be arcing from plug leads. this is hard to see in daylight. in a dark shed or at night, open hood, start engine then look for arcing from plug wires. this will look like small sparks.if this is the case, generally if you clean dirt and grime off the plugs leads this will stop. if it doesnt, replace the leads

What is that annoying ticking noise mustangs make when you change the oil?
The ticking sound is coming from the valve lifters. When the oil filter is changed, air is introduced into the system, which causes air bubbles to form in the oil. This causes the valve lifters to "leak down", which is what causes the ticking sound. It can take several days for the bubbles to dissipate. It's annoying, but harmless.
