    Also, on a pretty stock Chevy motor, if you have 1/4" of thread showing above the stock style adjusting nut, that is right at the proper adjustment.

    ps: I wanted to add to this. If you have 5 people standing around, and you have a 0-1" micrometer. A .0500 pc of round stock. Ask each one to measure it without using the ratchet type torque built into the mic. You will find that the feel is different for each person when they measure the pc of round stock.
    what your saying is denny very true. you could here this i told you what size it was hang on i will show you you just give it a bit more of a turn now were did you put the vise grips funny but not to far off this happen to a friend of mine .there is only two guys that i would let use my mics or and thing i use to measure parts with
