Valve lash

Guys.....

Installing a stock remanufactured head on a 66 bronco with a 170(solid lift cam)

Anyone have any ideas what the spec is for setting up the valve lash?? Found the section in the chiltons Bronco manual covering setting the valve lash but no mention of the spec

Intake and exhaust are both set at .016 with the engine at operating tempurature.

Give them at least .020" cold, even .030" won't hurt for the initial startup, then set them to the hot spec after warmup.
