Well since I haven't created a new post yet...

My mixture has been set without a meter. I've used the lift/lower the throttle plate method and gotten it to a point where it seems reasonably happy.

What happened, was I drove my car up from where I live, at about 5000 feet, to a friend of mine's house at about 8000 ft. We took the car out for a spin, and headed uphill from there. At about 5500 revs, the car started to hesitate/almost cut out and loose power. It was very unhappy revving to 6500. At first, it almost seemed like a rev-limiter thing, or electrical cutout. Then, after taking the car back down the mountain, the problem went away. So, I assume it's a mixture thing, with the mixture going overly rich at altitude.
