T3: RE: whats wrong with my engine

Ah, yes, but what to do about it in a practical sense?

My carburetted '71 Square lives at an elevation of 5800'.  In a drive of fewer than
200 miles, however, I can go from 2000' feet to (almost) 11,000'. Such is life in Utah/
Nevada.

On my much anticipated trip to Mexico this summer, I will be driving thru HOT deserts
at low elevations and pullin' mountains at over 7000'.

I will be Mucho Garcia for any practical advice...
