ebay pic, only carb I got now (I thinkYours is purtier than mine General....
There are two idle adjustments, one is hot idle-see the adjustment screw on the linkage behind the ball-stud?
The other is the fast-idle on the kick-up attachment.
There maybe an adjustment on the opposite side depending on electric, vacuum or manual choke.
Had to hunt the dark depths of my memory, with help from Googlefu, since I don't have hands on here, not many members around that fuss around with stone-age car parts.
You also don't say if you checked anything suggested in the other thread.

This is not a normal carb and the normal idle setting screw is not there, Yes I have a AC high Idle screw.
QUESTION, How do I set the CURB idle, its at about 1100 RPMS when HOT, Choke is fine
That is not the CARB

I do not have the screw that is shown in your photo
As the General says, there should be 3 screws that hold the black choke part on..Well without the carb in front of me I'm stabbing in the dark.
Look on the side of the choke assembly, loosen the three small screws around the parameter, that will allow that round part to turn clockwise and counter clockwise, one way raises idle, the other lowers it, first adjust the idle with the engine at operating temp, the check idle cold, I know it sounds backwards.
Again hard to diagnose from this far away, based on what I read between the two threads on this issue I still feel it's a vacuum issue.

Personally I would loosen those and twist it so the choke isn't even working to take it out of the search for whats causing this.
Thanks everybody for their help.As the General says, there should be 3 screws that hold the black choke part on..

There is also a Choke pull off, that applies vacuum to the choke flap when the car starts... Check if its working.. If its losing vacuum and allowing the choke flap to come back on, even a little bit, this could raise your idle....... Pull off the vacuum line to it and attache a hand held vacuum pump and see if it holds vacuum.....
Best way to adjust your choke is to do this in the morning after letting your car sit overnite.. ... DO NOT turn the key on at all... You do not want to heat up your choke coil..
loosen the 3 screws and adjust it so the choke flap just barely opens or starts to open... Tighten the 3 screws and that at least gives you a good base to start from.. Although my experience has been that there is usually no need for more
You have been giving many things to check by people on here... Can you tell us what you have done so far?????
