Hi all. My son has restored a '51 GMC pickup that has a 270-cube
straight six (apparently an option or replacement engine). He wants
to adjust the valves, and while we have tons of car books, we have no
reference for the specs on this truck. If anybody can help with the
numbers for valve lash etc., we'd sure appreciate it.

Thanks Al, but I got some great links that help immensely. And thanks
to all who responded, here and via email.
