valve adjust

I'm fairly new at this and I don't want to pay $100 to have a mechanic do it for me, and most likely find something else "wrong" with it. I have heard this is a pretty simple job, but I don't want to mess it up. I need to adjust the valve lifters and would like to know how to go about doing that. I have a 1978 ford f-100 with a 300-6 by the way. If someone could get back to me on that, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks Caleb Knudson

I don't believe the valve train is adjustable. I think it is all one-piece, non-adjustable set at the factory. Valves on these 6es rarely need adjustment, but I suppose it could be done.
