The best way to adjust your valves is to start with the number one piston in firing position, you can check that the piston is in the proper position by lining the rotor up with the number one plug wire on your distributor cap. When number one piston is firing position you can adjust the intake and exhaust valves on the number one cylinder. Now remove the other three spark plugs. if your firing order is 1-3-4-2, use a screw driver and insert it into the number three plug hole and rotate the engine until the piston is at the top of its stroke. Now you can adjust the intake and exhaust valves on the number three cylinder, continue the same procedure until you have done all 4 cylinders.I am not positive on the clearence you should be setting the valves out, But am guessing that it should be .014 of an inch. Hope this information helps, e-mail me if you need some more help.
