Thereabouts...if you get too tight, the thing won't wanna rev and you're putting too much stress on the valvetrain...but conversely, too loose and you'll hammer your lifters to pieces. From .022-.028 is probably the safe zone assuming it's an older stock cam...I've seen a newer replacement cam with 16/16 figure, and then of course some of the newer tight lash cams take that a step further.
