Quick questions on Choke (Pics)

Can some one tell me where is the choke screw on this stock 76 rochester carp?

If you guys could circle it from one of my pics, it would be great!

I have another question, at what should I set the choke idle? It's 2000 right now, I wanna lower it, but what should I lower it to?

Not sure about a "choke screw". There is a fast idle or main throttle type screw and then the regular idle mixture screws?

Sorry I think more info is needed.

Ahhh, You are looking for the "Fast Idle Screw" and I don't see it in your photos! Look on right side (passenger) down low behind the big choke element in your photos. You'll need to use a thin screwdriver to access it. With engine cold, carck the throttle to get the choke to set. Start car without hitting the gas. Then adjust that screw to get the RPM's you want. I typically have a winter and a summer setting for mine... I get away with a lower warm-up rpm when it is hot outside...
