74 was, unfortunetly, a monumental year for the muscle cars. Smog, took over. Catalytic converters, HEI distributors, (which was the only good thing) unleaded only fuel. It was the proverbial, "knock out punch" to the gasping "muscle car" era. In 70, they had dome pistons. In 74, they were dished. What was 11.5:1 compression, in 74, dropped to 8:1. And the forged pistons were scrapped, and a cheaper cast piston, was installed. So, a cast, dished 9:1.
