rocker arms

I have a stupid but simple question. Ijust replaced the cam rockers lifters Etc... on my firebird,and dont know exactly what the right height on the lifters should be. Someone told me to get the lifters flush with the block then set the rocker arms but others said no. If anyone could give me a crash coarse on setting everything up including how to set the lash on the pushrod I would greatly appreciated. Still a beginner so any info is helpful
