318 Poly missing Valve Lash Adjusters HELP!

Hi there, i recently swapped a 318 poly into my 67 dodge d200 that had a slant six and I just got it runni g good enough to drive.
Anyways, i went to adjust the valves on it, and after pulling the valve covers, there was no studs or anything for adjusting the valve clearances.
I was stumped and now I am wondering how i am supposed to adjust them? Or if i even can and why it was no studs or screws? Ill post a pic below so you all know what im getting at here.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

My guess would be that you have hydrolic lifters no adjustment needed.. Check clearance when the valve is closed

I dont remember how the poly's got adjusted.... If memorie serves me rite? I thought they used valve stem caps to take up clearance on them old dogs?
I think some guys went to adjustable push rods or rocker arms from a later poly motor... Sorry.
