Default Re: 478 pistons

Thanks for the info Pete, I have a few sets of various V-6 pistons that I have aquired over the years, so I had a look and one of the sets is for a 351 .030 and they are Zollners, so I checked and sure enough they say clear-o-matic and a magnet confirms the steel band near the top of the skirt, none of the other sets I have show any steel in the skirt or pin boss area.
Kind of makes me wonder what kind of or if any testing went into the pistons these other manufaturers were producing in the day.
