hey there. heres a lil info you might not know. the ford 292 V-8 is a solid lifter motor that has a valve lash of .19 hot or cold. so, when the motor is running there will be a tick. It might sound like a click to some. so the lifters might be what you are hearing.....

Engine cold, remove spark plugs
Fit socket and ratchet to crank pulley bolt.
Find your .019" feeler gauge.
Turn crank so exhaust valve for #1 cylinder (left front as you face motor) just starts to open...adjust the intake valve for that cylinder. Turn crank until intake valve for #1 cylinder just starts to close. Adjust exhaust valve for that cylinder.
Repeat for the other 7 cylinders.
Don't forget to remove the socket wrench when finished.
