IS there a general guideline sheet somewhere for camera settings with Illford film?

Have purchased various Illford films to try and currently simply using the camera meter and sunny 16 rule of simply leaving the shutter inverse to ISO in this case camera set on iso 400 and shutter on 1/500

For the settings on an analoge film camera, you relate to the iso of the film. The brand of the film is quite irrellevant. So it's fine to set shutter speed to 1/500 with a film having iso of 400. Then, aperture 16 should be fine for taking a picture with the sun in senit and behind your neck.

back when the earth was green every roll of film came with a data sheet which generaly had a "sunny 16" chart headed exposure.

those days are long gone, I sniped this chart form the 2016 Kodak Guide for Tri-x which is made at 320 and 400 ISO, to give you an idea of th evalues, naturally ANY 400 speed film would be used at the same exposure.
