How d I adjust idle RPM?

how do you adjust idle? My idles is only about 500 RPM right now. What should the idle be after the car is all warmed up and has been drivin a little while?

yup, my car runs great. I'm getting 12-15 inHG (depending on the atmospheric conditions) @ 500 RPM.

The idle should be at 750-800 rpm. There is a small set screw that can change your idle, just follow your throttle cable and you'll see it.

Use the procedure in the manual page F-16 to F17. The primary adjusting screw is below the intake elbow. The one near the throttle cable is used only after the lower screw as per the manual.
