Tappet setting cold is:

Intake: .008" to .010"

Exhaust: .017" to .019"

On these engines, the tip of the valve tends to wear a recess in the top of the tappet adjusting screw over time, which makes accurate tappet clearance adjustment with a feeler gauge impossible. If you now have the engine apart, check for this wear and replace the adjusting screws, if needed, or have a machine shop grind the screw flat for you.

Settings are commonly referred when talking of clearance between the valve and lifters, or clearance on points, flywheel air gap, etc.

Terminalogy....!!! LOL

I simply refer to that as "the gap".

I wasn't for sure if he was talking about the Valve Spec's, ie: Diameter of the stem.
