Just a Newbie

Any info At all would be appreciated.

Set your valves at .017 hot. The best way to do it is to adjust them with a stepped feeler gauge at slow idle using a socket wrench with an extension and universal on the socket. With a little practice you will become very proficient at this lost art.
