Re: More power from my inline 6

Agreed, do the compression test, but it is a small engine and won't lug like the 292 so you'll just have to rev more in the lower gears.

HEI made a big difference to mine too but that just says there was something wrong with the old points distributor. Yes it likes a little more timing.

I don't know if a carb from a 292 would help. Your 250 carb is probably only a 1 9/16' bore and I think the 292 is 1 5/8". Both sit over the same 1 5/8" hole in the manifold. Please correct me if am wrong on this.
