When I attended Breckenridge, my Healey did not like the altitude so I stopped
in at a local service center and asked the mechanic there what they did to
adjust to the altitude He suggested we adjust the timing 2 degrees for every
1000 feet. I believe Breckenridge was about 10,000 feet. I set it at 20 degree
advance. Since we were constantly at that elevation the car ran fine. He said
when we got to a  lower elevation to return to normal settings. This worked
great for me.
