problem being is a cant find the adjustment thingy
the heinz manual says its under the idle solenoid thingy (the cylinder with a wire comign out of it) but its not...

Hi,
iirc it depends on whether the car is pre or post '86 on my 89 you use the throttle stop screw on the carb to adjust the idle speed. It is easy to find in the haynes manual, shame I am nowhere near my car or I could take a photo for you.
I will try and hunt a pic down

still trying to find a pic from somewhere as I dont have either the volvo or a 360 haynes about, but I will try and describe where it is from what I remember.
If you stand on the right hand side of the car (RHD I take it) and look at the carb there should be a biggish screw (flat head) on the upper right hand side of the carb, it protrudes from the actual body of the carb not anything else.
If you can take a photo of the carb from that side I can draw an arrow if you'd like.
Sorry I can't be more helpful
