First, they didn't have a A/F ratio compensating FI in 1965 and if they did, it would be far superior to any sort of carb. There was only mechanical FI and it was in its infancy. Kind of like saying how great bias ply tires are before radials were invented.
Second, no carb. works perfectly at sea level AND at 6000'.
