valve adjust

we need to know the type before we can help, pull the intake manifold and see if the lifters have an adjusting bolt on top, if they do you have after market lifters, if no adjusting bolt you have original solid lifters, let us know what type is in your motor

If adjustable, there will be something adjustable in the top of the lifter [below the valve stem end]. If original, there will be nothing. While apart, measure the clearance just to see what you have and also as reference point for the future.
The originals don't move around very much. The ones in the little roadster in the avatar haven't moved since '76 when I got it [ .015-.016"]. That engine was last done in '61.

On a stock valve train you will have to buy new valves to tighten the clearance, or grind the valve face and or valve seat. To increase the gap you will have to remove the valve and grind the stem.
