I HAD READ A POST A FEW MONTHS AGO THAT HAD A LINK TO AN ARTICLE ON VALVE ADJUSTMENT BY A GENTLEMAN NAMED JIM HAND.
IN HIS ARTICLE HE EXPLAINED THAT YOU COULD CHANGE THE TYPE OF ROCKER NUTS ON A PONTIAC ENGINE AND THEN BE ABLE TO ADJUST THE VALVES LIKE YOU WOULD ON A CHEVY.
DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THIS IS POSSIBLE ?
I HAVE A 1971 LEMANS WITH THE 350 PONTIAC ENGINE.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP, JEFF THOMAS

Also check out Pontiac Dude's site, he has an adjustment procedure on there too.

Yeah its possible either by converting the rocker studs to the Chevy adjustable studs or by getting the polylock nuts. I would imagine they are common and can be had through Summit or something similar. Any decent machine shop can help you if you would prefer to the adjustable studs, I did this to my motor and am very happy with it.

Posilocks, polilocks, Crane calls their's "Kool Nuts". You can find them in Summit's catalog. There are others that any speed shop should have.

I used a set of 454 chevy studs and compcams locking nuts. About a 1 hour job .This only applies if your heads have screw in studs though
