Re: rebuild 305

I will try this one part at a time I guess, now that everyone has had their fun. How do I figure out what piston to use. I need a parts list, as you can tell this is my first time rebuilding so true help is needed here. I guess if I do need to change the computer so be it.

Re: rebuild 305

more details of the car,transmission,axle ratio,carb/injection used,performance expectations, will be needed before any recommendations can be donefor the pistons,cast flattops will likely be good enough-be aware that inexpensive"rebuilder"pistons usually sit about .030 or more down in the cylinder.
