JLC,

You'd want to advance the timing at altitude. I'd go with a hotter plug also. 
(I'd go down 2 or 3 notches in the NGK range, from say, a BP-8 series to a BP-6 
series). I'm not familiar enough with that particular Weber to make a 
recommendation, but you might think of buying or borrowing a 
clip-to-the-exhaust air/flow meter since you've got so many different variables 
to address. They aren't a whole bunch of money, and I'd buy one myself except 
the leaded fuel I use mungs up the sensor. When I lived in Los Alamos NM at 
7400 feet, it was long enough ago that some of my friends had "primitive" cars, 
and advanced timing and 86 octane gas generally did the trick.
