Shouldn't be any problem 200 1981

posted by  someone claiming to be Dharvey on  Sat Oct 4 18:10 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I once had the occasion (and the considerable thrill) to drive a 1981 wagon (not a turbo) "over the top" in Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. Got to 12,120 ft altitude.

Of course, this was in 1987 and the car was only six years old, buuuuut...

It ran just as sweet as you could imagine. Ran better than I did at that altitude. The operation was absolutely seamless with all changes of altitude.

So the pressure compensating system must really work, unless it's been affected by age or high mileage.

Good luck.
