i have a 86 convertible 5.0 with an idle around 1500.
idle was fine before around 800,but timing was 6ish BTDC ran like crap lots of hesitation. set it to 11 BTDC. runs wayyy better. but idle is 1500. do i just go ahead and adjust the screw(cant find it). all hoses and vaccum lines connected no leaks. can anyone help me identify where the screw is (pictures inserted)

See the "Surging Idle Checklist for help with all your idle/stall problems. Everything you need to find and fix idle problems is in there.

The first two posts contain all the updates to the fixes. At last count there were 24 possible causes and fixes for surging idle/stall problems. I continue to update it as more people post fixes or ask questions.
