I have a stock GXL that runs real good, but i tend to run lean stock. My plugs usually look tanish when it comes out

THat **** on the 86-88 cars is only for the idle mixture. If you really need to add/cut fuel you'll have to go with an ECU upgrade, or a Super AFC, etc.

Where is this **** at? I need to do something with my idle since it doesn't exist anymore. First it is real high, then it won't even idle. Really pissing me off.

It's on top of your intake manifold. It may be covered by a black rubber cap. You just turn it with a flat head screwdriver.
