Just got added to the forum, Ive got a 73 B100 no window shorty van and need to know more on the engine. I've had it for 5 years now but it has developed a tick so I'm assuming rockers need adjustment. Just got a new valve cover gasket so the time is coming. Ill add a few photos once I figure out how this works here.[/img]

Welcome to the board! Sounds like a nice ride! If you use the search function you should be able to find the procedure for settting the lash hot or cold.

Here is a reliable valve adjustment procedure. Tune-up parts and technique suggestions in this thread. Carburetor operation and repair manuals and links to training movies and carb repair/modification threads are posted here for free download. And you'll want to get the three books described in this thread.

Too many people who were born on third base actually believe they've hit a triple.

I sincerely hope you have murals form the movie Zardoz on the side of your van. Welcome to the site!

A tick could also be an exhaust leak..............
