what the hell was i thinking lol i was talking about the idle mix screws oups sorry the idle its self is on the linkage its a small screw that pushes on a flat pice on the linkage it just pulls the cable or give it more slack but you need to check for vac leaks

just to be safe, if you find that you can not lower your idle any more than it's at then your secondary throttle stop may be open a bit too far. let us know if you get it tho, hopefully it's just out of adjustment
