1980 SC - idle "hunting" and stalling - Altitude?

I went to see a 1980 SC today with a buddy.

While the engine started fine, the idle began to "hunt"- going from idle to near stall and back.

This car has recently moved to Denver's 5280 altitude from Florida, and the seller says the fuel injection must need adjustment for altitude.

I drove it, and it stalled unless you kept the idle up....Is the seller's explanation ridiculous, or with merit?

Either way my buddy would get a PPI, but I had to ask.

Thanks - Dickson
