This truck has no cold starting issues. Even when it's real cold. The issue is when it's warm.

I think at your altitude it should be on the lean side. Good Luck

What's your initial timing?

Don't know. The guy who installed the carb. was the last to adjust it. I'll have to check it out. From what I've read 10 degrees advanced is about right. Seems my 71 was set at 10+.
Appreciate the help
