Moderately High Altitudes and '81 240 GLT 200 1981

I had not had a Volvo for several years, and recently acquired an 81 240 GLT 2 door sedan, 4 speed + overdrive (if I can get it to work again). I daily drive 120 miles between 5000 and 7000 feet elevation. The morning start is at 7000 feet. Is there anything I should do in the way of timing adjustment or carburetor adjustment to allow for the higher altitudes at which I am operating my 240? I know in the past I have had older cars which did not run worth a darn at 1000 feet, but were fine up here.
TIA
Larry
