If it has the standard 2bbl carb, there is a screw on the drivers side linkage. Just turn in to increase the rpm's, and back out to decrease. There is also a choke "kick-down" screw that can affect engine rpm when cold. This one will be screwed into a "stepped" cam on the linkage. You will need to adjust this for high idle speed when engine is cold. You may also have a high idle speed solenoid mounted on the front of the carb. This increases engine rpm when the ac unit is swithced on. This should be adjusted from the factory, but can be tuned by by a screw on the front of the solenoid.
