Get HPBoos' How to Rebuild Your Small-Block Ford for about anything you need to know for building and adjusting earlier small-block Fords.
Hydraulic and solid lifters require different adjustment techniques. The object with "adjusting" valves with hydraulic lifers is to place the lifter plunger at the mid-point of its travel. As for solid lifters, a slight amount of clearance will be needed to ensure the valves fully close when the lifter is on the cam-lobe base circle. For the exact method on how to adjust either type, use instructions detailed in the book I mentioned, a manual or from the cam manufacture.
