I may have to set my idle down slightly after they install the electronic ignition. Warm it is idling around 1500, 1600. These pictures look like throttle cable to me but I don't see any adjustment screw on this.

Correct, if the throttle body is not closing, that is your problem and needs to be addressed, rebuilt or replaced. The idle adjustment will be the big screw in the picture and is an air bleed allowing are around the closed throttle plate, to control your base idle speed. Or look for and unmetered air bleed/leak ( vacuum leak)
