Re: Inline 6 cyl club members

LHM, it's also BLACK!

I have a 250 and 3 speed in mine.You are probably wanting to reduce the rpm's while cruising.Most of the old 6's were geared for hauling and have low(higher numerically) rear gears.Taller tires will help but a gear ratio may be needed to get what you are looking for.With the 3:73's I run close to 3000 rpm at 60 .Modern drivetrains run about 2000 at 70.You are probably noticing the difference.
If you are having tranny's go bad you may have other problems.
