Ford used a couple of styles of valve rockers that are nominally non adjustable for the 302 engine such as the pedestal mount and a stud that from the top down changes from a 5/16 threaded to 3/8 smooth shaft. Both of these are supposed to simply torque down and the valves should be in the operating range which can be as wide as 1/4 inch! For these two types of rockers you can change to oversize push rods to quiet noisy valves and improve performance. It's not recommended to go over 60 thousandths. If it takes more than that you probably need a new cam and lifters. Replacing the push rod with an over length push rod will not correct a bad lifter and flat cam If you need 10/ tenths performance from your engine you need adjustable valve train but conversion could be expensive. If it's just 2 or 3 change the push rods ; if it's more, then a cam and lifters is probably in your 302's future.
