Before you adjust the idle be sure the ignition system is correct. As necessary adjust the advance, timing, and if you have points the dwell all to spec.
Then go to the carb and adjust the idle mixture and the idle speed in small increments until you get a satisfactory idle.
If you can't get a satisfactory idle by this procedure there is most likely a problem with the carburetor. Or maybe the PCV system is interfering somehow.
