Not answer of fuel adjustment. However in pulling 40 foot 3 slide out RV and also 40 foot tandem implement trailer over wolf creek and others just west of Salida CO. some modifications were very good. Best thing I did to 3/4 ton ford with 480 engine was to install a Brownie Lite auxiliary transmission. some are different ratios. My best set up was straight with a 15 per cent reduction and a low of 2 to 1 ratio. Three different ratios. Topping Wolf Creek or other high passes with 2 to 1 gearing speedometer read 60 MPH while actual speed was 30 MPH. Passed many with steam and or oil smoke or just stopped was often. Also downgrade was good while saving hot brakes. The 15 per cent ratio was very good in a head wind. I found both of mine in older junk yards, usually on 1 and one half or 2 ton trucks. They were common in 1950 era. Very easy to replace bearings giving a like new unit. Other reduction or overdrive setups are around, however I would only want one with shifting capabilities between ratios. Stopping to shift is usually necessary.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
