I thought altitude compensation was handled by the fact that
the less-dense air moved the AFM vane less and so requested
less gas to be injected. Not so?
[BTW--I remember some GM info in the mid-sixties that effective
power at the wheels was reduced 25% at 5000' and 50% at 10000'.
Of course, this was big iron, carbs and automatics! But it has
always seem roughly true in my four buses, '61, '67, '76, '81.]
