Where is the idle screw located on carburetor

Hi guys, I have a '86 2.8 and I recently failed my state emissions test due to idle being too high. Anyone know where the idle adjustment screw is located?

Thanks

Probably on the linkage for the cable that goes to your gas pedal. The ones on the carb will be for the jetting, dont mess with those.
