    First, you make sure the dwell and timing are set correctly.

    Then you adjust the idle and mixture.
    Idle speed is on the driver's side of the carb, mixture is at the bottom front on each side.

    And make sure the choke is open and the fast idle cam is not activated first......

    Thanks for the help. My van is happy again with a lower idle and a new AT vacuum modulator. My van is driving better than ever. bounce
