Does anyone have a video showing the “engine running” method by chance?

5. Adjust the valves. Figures 2-40 and 2-41 above show the actual adjustment. with one hand on the right side holding the feeler gauge in the slot between the rocker and the valve, the other hand loosens the lock nut and adjusts tension with the flathead screwdriver (2-41)
The feeler gauge needs to be able to slide in and out of the slot after the adjustment.

It's worth mentioning here again that you need to rotate the flywheel another 360 degrees around and back on the TDC mark to have the rotor pointing 180 degrees the other way before adjusting valves "c" and "d" in the chart.

I find it is possible to leave a box wrench on the lock nut without a hand on it momentarily and it can balance there while you turn the screwdriver and move the gauge back and forth in the slot. When you have the adjustment correct switch both hands to the left and holding the screwdriver still, snug the lock nut with the other hand.

If your dizzy is off a notch will you have to readjust the valves again if you adjusted them with it off a notch?
