valve adjustment

Could someone tell me the process of adjusting the valves on a 360 engine. Also does anyone know the gap for the sparkplugs on this engine.
thanks for all the help

Your 360 probably has a non-adjustable valvetrain.

Just in case someone added adjustable rockerarms:
adjust the intake valve when the exhaust valve starts to open
adjust the exhaust valve when the intake valve starts to close

That adjustment procedure works on any four-cycle engine, regardless of camshaft used.

I'd gap the plugs at 0.035"

For non-adjustable rockers, you use .060" longer or shorter pushrods.
