Taking my dual weber 2056from it's home at sea level over ebbets pass (8700 ft)next week. Doing a valve adjust before, and general check, but is there anything specific I should do? Think I will need to fiddle with the idle mixtures urging the drive?
Any honks are welcome. |

I have a 2.2 liter type IV tuned for sea level. I had it just above 10,000 feet at the Atomic Ramble in Albequerque New Mexico and it ran fine. It started EVERY time. Keep the revs up so the plugs dont foul and it should be OK. (Don't listen to SLITS. Since he installed the "6" in his car he has become somewhat of a PCA snob).
