Sully: it's your business, but if you're settin' em on those L78s, here is THE BEST way to do it...buy a cheap *bump* button for your starter, and you can go from valve-to-valve simply and more importantly quickly...

Set the intake as the exhaust opens...
Set the exhaust as the intake closes...

Rob is right--the old "EO - IC" method (exhaust opening, intake closing) is the best way IMO and takes the memorization out of the process! Good luck.

It may work with a stock L78 but won't work with a stock 302, the lifters are still on the ramps because of the overlap...

The CRG method will work on any solid lifter Chevrolet.

"Cold" Adjustment Procedure for the 30-30 Cam
You can adjust two valves at each 90-degree rotation point, starting at cylinder #1 TDC and turning the crank 90 degrees at a time, seven times (first measure and mark your balancer at 90-degree intervals from TDC). Removing the plugs simplifies rotating the crank, but you were going to change them anyway, right?

Table 1: Cold Adjustment Procedure for 30-30 Cam
Step Rotate Adjust exhaust Adjust intake
Number Crank to 0.026-inch to 0.026-inch
------ ----------- -------------- -------------
1 Rotate cylinder #1 to TDC
2 --- cylinder #8 cylinder #2
3 90 degrees cylinder #4 cylinder #1
4 180 degrees cylinder #3 cylinder #8
5 270 degrees cylinder #6 cylinder #4
6 0 degrees cylinder #5 cylinder #3
7 90 degrees cylinder #7 cylinder #6
8 180 degrees cylinder #2 cylinder #5
9 270 degrees cylinder #1 cylinder #7

<font color="blue">There ya go. </font>
