Please help IAC valve

Could someone tell me where the Idle Air Control valve is on a
86 camaro berlinetta 305 5.0 V8 automatic trans. is?

My car idles high in park. I have checked for vacuum leaks.
I have replaced PCV valve. But car still idles high in park.

So I need to know where the IAC valve is. Could someone please tell me where this is?

Thanks in advance!

Its carbed, it doesn't have one. Make sure that you have no vacuum leaks, tighten down the carb. It might have a stepper motor holding the throttle open, make sure the fast idle cam on the carb isn't hung up.

Also note that if your car has factory a/c and you have the HVAC mode selector in
either the a/c, max, or defrost positions the idle will also be increased.
