Yes it will . Back when they were new tractors that were sent to places with higher elevations had higher compression pistons . Now dopn't hold me to the elevationbut i am aware of the pistons for above 5000 and 8000 feet . Now as to tuning yours for elevation for me it would be a little trial and error as i live in the under 2000 feet and mostly in the 15-1800 ft. el. In my youth and love for Speed and fast E T's i tuned for the tracks and weather to get the most i could . so for your S/H i would have to start with the dist and see how the centrifugal advance is working and fine tune that , check compression run the valves to make sure they are opening to get the biggest GULP or air fuel on the intake and play a little with timing and see what fuel ya have out our way , Next up is the cap rotor and wires making sure ya have old fashioned copper core ing wires . Then it would be nice to put it on a dyno and run it while fine tuning the carb and timing . So yes your tractor came from a lower alt. and higher alt will make a difference . I rebuilt one of my friends S/MTA with the above 8000 ft. pistons and a 450 gas head and here at lower alt. ya can not believe how much more pony power it makes and how well it runs . . My S/MTA has M &W flat tops in it and it sure does not run like Vernon's
