Gee this goes way back...

20 yrs ago i had '68 145. i don't remember where I got the degree figures, but I marked the crankshaft pulley with marks for intake and exhaust just opening. I only had to turn the engine to line up the mark with arrow on the block, then finger tight the screw to bring the tappet to zero clearance on the valve. Quick check afterwards to verify there was still some clearance at TDC. It was quick to adjust and gave the smoothest, quietest engine with solid lifters I ever had.

Cheers
