valve adjustment

I know that this is going to sound like a dumb question to some of you but i have been wondering this for a while. I have a 69 360 and it has solid ifters. How do you adjust the valves since it has a solid rocker shaft with no adjusting nuts? Does anyone know the torques for the rocker shaft and the valve covers?
thanks
brad

Unless you yourself put a mechanical
cam in the engine, I find it hard to
believe that you have a mechanical cam.
Otherwise you need new rocker arms...
