Mark the location of the rotor, on the distributor before pulling it out, as you have to put it right back in the same location, to keep the motor in time. Then, pull the intake manifold, loosen the rocker arm of the lifter to be changed. Swap lifters, bring the valve to 0 lash, and adjust from there. Re install intake, and valve covers, and distributor, making sure rotor is aimed right where it was. Pretty easy, if you are mechanically inclined. If not, take it to someone. It can get pretty involved for someone who does not know what they are doing.
