Hot tough is it to adjust the valves in a 74 2.0? Any hints or pointers?

There is probabely something in the classic sectio, and I know there are many more qualified then me to answer your question, but I know Pelcian has a technical section with very specific directions on adjusting valves...

I just did mine for the first time using the pelican parts article. I had no problems at all, and I'm just out of High School! The trickiest thing was getting the metal clips back on the valve covers after the adjustment. The trick was to plug both ends of the wire into the heads, then swivel the wire up and over the covers using a screwdriver...good luck!

Do a search, one of the guys did a great thread on this. I remove the rear tires
and it makes it easer to get to them. But thats just me.

Search for the Capn's method in the classic section, it's the best.
