Hey Folks,

I am getting ready to drive my 75 Vette from Bowling Green to the Vettes on the Rockies show in Breckinridge, CO next month and I need to know how to go about adjusting the Rochester carb so that it will run out there at the 10000+ ft elevation. BG is about 750 ft above sea level and the car runs great here. I have had it to about 4000 ft elevation in the eastern part of the state and it did not want to run well, kept loading up and coughing black smoke (running too rich). So I know it probably won't even run in the Rockies unless I do some re-jetting to lean it out. I just don't know how lean to go with it. Can anyone offer any assistance or refer me to someone who can. Thanks. Take care and remember, "I WAVE 2"
