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.
