Default In spite of info, can't locate idle screw 86 XJ6

I've read all I can find but for some reason, I just can't find it in spite of knowing what to look for from advice here and at jag- lovers.

It's an 86 XJ6 and all else is in order -- clean and new parts. It does not stall but it is at a rate that you wouldn't be surprised if it did. I want to move it up maybe 500 rpms.

A few inches forward of the throttle body you'll see a small aluminum casting bolted to the intake manifold. It has a couple hoses attached. The idle speed screw is recessed into that casting. You'll need an allen wrench and some patience to actually make the adjustment

Cheers

I believe this is what Doug is referring to.

Thanks, guys. Found it. Hiding behind hoses.
I bought an allen wrench for bend and am excited to have the chance to fix this nagging problem. Let's hope that it isn't frozen.
