You are fine and can pay me when
I deliver them to you!
I am at Vegas races until after next week's
divisionals.

If you need them sooner = I can try to get home and
ship them to you after Nationals.

I did some checking and the 68 to early 70s pistons have
4 VALVE notches similar to 72/73 340 engines.

You need to use them rather than flat tops or you will have
nearly zero valve clearance with a stocker camshaft with
correct lift.

Sorry I did not know the early engines had a different piston.
