PISTON COMPLETE C.R. 9:1

A complete 9:1 compression piston listed in the crankshaft and connecting rods section, part number CP-179.

PN · CP-179

CP-179 is a complete piston listed at a 9:1 compression ratio, showing up in the crankshaft and connecting rods section of the parts book. Complete means it's the piston itself as a finished part rather than a raw casting, but the catalog entry doesn't spell out what else comes packaged with it, so don't assume rings or a pin are included unless you confirm that with us first.

This one appears in catalog rows spanning 1964 to 1966, but we don't have anything tying it to a specific model or engine size beyond that window, so check your own engine specs before ordering. The alias form CP 179 is just the same part number written with a space instead of a dash - same physical piston either way.

If you're working from a parts book and see either form of the number, you're looking at the same piston. Give us a call with your engine details and we'll help make sure this is the right compression ratio and bore for what you've got.
