'82 SC Idle adjustment

I have a quick question.

I think mixture and idle adjustment are just a little off.

Basically, the car will start reving higher than normal when I come to a stop at a stop light like around 2K for like 15 seconds or so and then it will slowly drop down to 1K.

I tightened up the idle screw it actually lowered the idle when I got to a certain point (I thought it worked the other way).

Now my idle is too low and the car almost dies. I can't seem to find a happy medium.

What should I do?

Should I turn the idle screw all of the way in and then adjust the mixture to bring my idle up?

Or back the idle screw off a little and ajust the mixture?

Thanks for your help,
