Stock 302 carb and idle question

[BorderBronco]

I have searched but may just be using the wrong terms. I have a 73 Ranger with a 302 and a stock carb on it. It idles rather high. Was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of the idle screw so I can adjust the idle. Thanks.

Hide and seek

As I recall, should be on the left (driver) side of the carb near the base. With the engine warm and choke off, you should see the throttle lever contact with the idle speed screw. Just work the lever back and forth and find the screw that it rests on. Good luck!
