Unhappy A Silly Question?

On a 1983 4.9L 300 6cyl-van, standard carb-single barrel, where would the idle mixture screw be located? I'm getting old and blind and need some direction!!

Thanks, Arnie

find where your throttle cable hooks to the carb...it's the spring-adjust screw on the engine-side of the throttle fitting....
