Yet "another" Valve Adjustment Question ...
Does anyone know exactly which 8 Valves can be properly adjusted with #1 Cyl. @ TDC and which 8 Valves can be properly adjusted with #6 Cyl. at TDC on an FE with Adjustable Rockers ... ?
I have always adjusted Chevy V8's in this manner and it worked perfectly with hydraulic or solid lifter cams ... Seems to me there must be a procedure for FE's similar to that of Chevy's, except for the firing order ...

Ya, a buddy had a cheat sheet made up for this. I guess I like to do things the hard way as I'll run it around to each individual and check it.
Maybe if I was paid by the hour/or job I'd be in more of a hurry and do the shortcut version.

It was right there in the Manual ...
I found the Valve Adjustment Procedure in a 1971 Motor's Manual ... This is for all FE engines with Adjustable Rockers ...
With Cyl. #1 @ TDC (compression stroke) adjust the following -
No. 1 Intake & Exhaust
No. 4 Exhaust
No. 5 Exhaust
No. 7 Intake
No. 8 Intake
Rotate Crankshaft 180 degrees (1/2 turn) and adjust -
No. 2 Exhaust
No. 4 Intake
No. 5 Intake
No. 6 Exhaust
Rotate Crankshaft 270 degrees (3/4 turn) and adjust -
No. 2 Intake
No. 3 Intake & Exhaust
No. 6 Intake
No. 7 Exhaust
No. 8 Exhaust
A "Degree Wheel" is recommended, but Chalk Marks on the Balancer will suffice.
This method is for COLD setting of Mechanical or Hydraulic Lifters ...
