What are the cam specs and do you want to stay with a 2 barrel?

Thanks for the reply, the cams are the standard configuration, if I want to keep both barrels

The 2100 1.23 is larger than a 292 used. It can probably work if you have parts available to tune it. Since you have it, try it. The Autolite carbs are good, in general.

If it is set up for it's original application, I'm not surprised that it doesn't work well. You'll need to tune it for the 292.

Alternatively, you can try to find a smaller Autolite. Or get a Holley which will have much better support, as far as tuning goes.
