Look it up yourselves, 66-72 AMC blueprint specs. And nobody got notified about a change.

This is a screwup, group 19 parts are not "stock", never were and never should be.
Flat top pistons were never available in a 360 AMC either. I don't know who manages to convince NHRA to keep bending the rules but for the sake of the sport, this needs to be better policed. It's not just the AMC guys, I can find lots to complain about with the other makes as well.
