Valve adjust on '64 289

I also posted this in the Galaxy section:
I am working on a 64 Galaxy 289 . The guy had the all the machine done for a basic rebuild. Now the question is. How do you adjust the valves. I do mostlly GM stuff and the Fords that I have worked on before you just tightened down the rocker arms and you were done.
But on this 64 motor, it has rockers similar to a GM rocker.:confused: I am wanting to know a little more before I go into this motor and end up wiping a cam lobe because the lifters were to tight.:eek:
Keep in mind this motor is stock all the way around. nothing fancy.:sleep:

I've read before that you can turn the stud nut until the rocker arm touches the valve stem and then tighten 1/2 to 3/4 turn. Or with the engine hot and idling around 1000 rpm's stick a .010 thickness guage between the valve stem and rocker arm and tighten it down until you hear a subtle miss like putt-putt at the tailpipe. Back off slowly 'till it goes away. The .010 is your cushion for safe allowances. This is how my dad did his VW and it worked on his 'stang too. And my bike.

Gottem adjusted, I just did it like my Chevrolet stuff worked out fine. I turned the rocker nut until the push rod just barely had any play and then turned it another 1/2 turn. Worked great.
