Steve,
If you have a 12 volt timing light you can use it on a 6 volt system. Just connect the battery leads for the timing light to a 12 volt source, I use a jumper pack . A spare 12 volt battery would work also.
The shop manual will tell when valves should be adjusted,
Manual says every 2000 miles on my 38.
That engine should be every bit as quiet as the Desoto .
