Re: '87 5KTQ performance trouble

Fred:

Robert Myers pointed this out to me as well.  I can't say that I did
consider elevation but as it turns out I'm pretty close to sea level
as I live by Richmond, VA. so I think the +.1 correction is O.K.

Does anybody know how to adjust based on elevation.  This might help
those living closer to Audihala.

Mark;

    You are correct about the static reading being 1.0 if you are close to
sea level. I imagine altitude can make a difference in this reading.
