Default Re: thin ring grooves

1967-1968 we cut ring new grooves in stock pistons higher up on our 283/220.....John Hoffman did the pistons...
Was worth a couple tenths

1970 Stocker pistons had narrower rings cut higher up
Forged trues I think they were....

Makes no sense to me to require stock grooves 50 years later and have to use various spacers and still use thin rings
