Thanks for the tip Randy! 
Yea, the trip to Pikes Peak started from a conversation with some TriState Triumph people at lunch after one of our “spirited drives”. The trip up Pikes Peak was a bucket list goal of one of the couples. I asked my wife if she wanted to go too and after saying yes, she suggested that since we will be out west why not see some other sites? We’re both retired so there’s no hurry getting back home. There’s about 8 of us going to Pikes Peak so far. I haven’t mentioned our extended trip to the group yet but some of them may want to go with us instead of driving straight back to Cinci.

Thanks again for the electric fuel pump idea!!
Tha car is already up on the QuckJack😁.

Dave,

When I drove Albuquerque to Breckinridge and return, up over a pass at 11500, at around 9kft I advanced the timing a few degrees. I didn’t touch the carbs. I don’t think the timing adjustment was necessary but it was easy to do.

If you sent your itinerary dates I might meet you in Co Springs and then there would be 9 hill climbers.

Agreed. I don’t recall either of those Stags suffering fuel starvation or 'altitude' sickness. One on SU's, the other on Strombergs. Must admit I was glad when we did the descent as the altitude was doing me no good at all. That said, a great drive in both directions, a fine day and an amazing view at the summit.

Back in the day =E2=80=93 like fifty plus years ago, all the larger UK =
car makers undertook extensive altitude testing on all their cars. =
Favourite locations were Europe, Scandinavia, Canadian Rockies, the =

equivalent places in some of those locations and this sort of testing is =
something many enthusiasts don=E2=80=99t take on board.

Randy! <br>Yea, the trip to Pikes Peak started from a conversation with =
some TriState Triumph people at lunch after one of our =E2=80=9Cspirited =

the couples. I asked my wife if she wanted to go too and after saying =
yes, she suggested that since we will be out west why not see some other =
sites? We=E2=80=99re both retired so there=E2=80=99s no hurry getting =
back home. There=E2=80=99s about 8 of us going to Pikes Peak so far. I =
haven=E2=80=99t mentioned our extended trip to the group yet but some of =
