Maybe a bit late to the party, but when I was 15 in 1975, I had a Vauxhal Victor and did the engine up, valve clearance was 12thou from memory.
Later my brother had a Cortina which we did some work on but without the aid of a manual. I set the clearance same as the Victor and it was truly awful, ran very poorly and made a lots of noise. It turned out the correct value was 24thou, who would have guessed?
