Thanks for the help! For the cost, I should probably buy a matched set. Yes, I need new rings.
If expensive, I could instead buy some JE pistons or QSC pistons. Seem like an inexpensive option and maybe a displacement increase.
(Apparently, I had a small screw or nut fall into #1 at some point. Damaged the heck out of the piston.)
You could get E pistons and rings. That would give you a small bump in compression.
If you want a big bump, get S pistons, and E cams. With the carbs, that will make a great driver.
