First, make sure all vacuum lines are properly hooked up and in good condition - no cracks, breaks, half-connected, etc.
Next, make sure the timing is properly set.
Finally, when all of that is verified, there is a screw on the driver's side of the carb that is used to adjust the idle speed. It should only be adjusted when the engine is at operating temperature and the transmission is in drive (parking brake applied, wheels blocked).
