How do I adjust my Idle Air Bleed???
I need help with this here. I have an 83 T/A with a stock 74,000 mile LG4. My car has a terribly rough idle. Above idle, it runs fine. I have no vacuum leaks, and they are all routed correctly. I was told to adjust the IAB. Where is it and how do you do it. I heard it is with a dwell meter...correct? Please tell me as I need my car for daily transportation. Thanks in advance.

The idle air bleed is in between the primaries, on the large "tower". You adjust it with a big flathead screwdriver. You're supposed to adjust it using a procedure detailed in the Helms manual that I can't remember off the top of my head.
Yours may have a cap over it. You'll have to remove it if it does. But--if the cap is there, chances are you don't need to mess with it.
