Just got back from taking the "old girl" out for a test drive. Printed
out several messages and did some more research.
I must have adjusted them too much...Ended up adjusting them from #1 TDC,
adjust #1 intake and exhaust, then rotated engine 90 degrees and adjusted
#8s and so on in firing order. Makes sense...I will still need to find
some old valve covers at a swap meet to cut open (the only ones I have
the "Chevrolet" script on them) to adjust valves with engine running. It
still makes a ticking noise under load...
Thanks for all the help.
