Altitude Changes

[Bob Palmer <rpalmer@ames.ucsd.edu>]

Listers,

I looked in my Holley Carburetor book to see what they say about altitude
changes. Actually, they say quite a bit. But the short answer is: Reduce
the jet size one number for every 2000 feet.  That means those of us at sea
level go down three jet sizes. Also, the higher altitude has the related
effect of making your carb effectively bigger. So all you guys with too
large carburetors (e.g., 750 double-pumpers) are gonna be really hurtin'.

See yah there,
