Pete---There are listers who live in the Denver area that can speak from
their daily experience. However, I did have a mountain cabin that was
even higher, at 6,000 ft. elev. that I visited regularly for 19 years
with my TR6. You will notice that less oxygen will drop power and engine
speed. Because this was a temporary condition, the only thing I did was
to pull the CHOKE knob out just far enough to make the engine speed up
at idle. You may want to screw down the fast idle screws to  get the
idle speed you desire. Easy.

My air/fuel monitor showed no worthwhile change in the mix due to this
elevation. This is one of the advantages of the CD carburetor.

Enjoy the country, the car, and your new-found freedom!

Folks,
I've been a lurker for more than 2 years, having tragically lost my
previous '6 in a divorce. I am, however, very happy to report
acquisition of a much nicer one- a '75 BRG '6 that has always lived on
the east coast.

I'd appreciate any tips on tuning considerations for the relocation to
Denver- arriving via transport later this month.
Thanks, and...so very glad to be back in this lucky circle of owners!
Pete
