If you are talking about your 1955 Clipper Constellation, then there is no lash adjustment for the valves. In the late 1950s and early 1960s my father fitted some Packard V-8s with adjustable push rods. Perhaps this is what you are thinking of when you ask about lash adjustment? I believe the clearances he used were very small maybe .002" for intakes and .004 for exhaust.
