84 6 cyl automatic, low idle: need help
 

So it idles too low in neutral, barely runs in gear when stopped. Runs fine going down the road.
Checked all vacuum lines and replaced several. New plugs, cap & rotor.
Adjusted timing couple of times, no change on the idle speed.
Would like to find the idle adjustment screw but cant find it. Looked and looked.
Throttle linkage is on back side of carb facing the firewall, hard to see (second picture).

Anyone know how to adjust, or ideas ?

Hello Bill, please send me the PDF, I will PM my email address.
Was reading your build thread on your blue shortbed last night, very NICE.

Hello Geezer, my carb looks different, no idle bypass screw above the mixture screw, mixture screw is 'capped' I believe. Or am I looking at this wrong.
Thank you both for your help !

Bill, the PDF was very helpful, I found the adjustment screw !
It's in the base of the carb, firewall side, below the throttle linkage.
Thank you ! and have a wonderful Memorial Day.
