300U pistons

I have a gas 300U I?m rebuilding to work on the farm. Pulling8? disk and plow in rocky Texas hill country. Trying to replace the original firecrater pistons with high altitude firecrater pistons.

Having trouble finding a set. I searched several forms and this one, it?s talked about a little and I checked all the recommended places and they don?t see them any more or out of business. Since some of the posts are 14 years ago it?s not surprising.

Who should I talk to? Is it worth the effort over standard folirecrator pistons? It?s gas engine with original head.
 
Don't think anyone is selling the high altitude sets unless you find new old stock. Webers tractor works lists the standard set of NOS ones and may know where to find the high altitude. If you have the 3-5/8 bore fire craters now it may not be worth the trouble or price for the high altitude.
 
The only person that had New old stock of high alt. pistons was Clyde Berkshire and Clyde closed up and sold out . Now as to who all bought out is inventory i have no idea as i did not go to the sale. The last set i bought from him we for a S/MTA and i should have bought two sets along with a set for my super H . He had new old stock that had the Zolner (SP) forged pistons not the junk ya get today. . A set of new old stock ones for above 8500 feet and a 350 head and a L P manifold and cam would really perk up your 300.
 
Have you ever had anybody answer the phone at Weber's? Bet I called all three of their numbers a dozen times each one week earlier this summer.
 
Thank you for the phone number. I called and since I?m just an individual guy (not a shop) they re-routed my call to their ?individual customer? line. Which was AGkits.com

Agkits did what a kit for it but it was the firecrater pistons not the high altitude firecrater. I?ll probably have to settle for the regular firecrater as no one has seen a set of high altitude firecrater a for sale in a really long time.
Thanks for the help.
 
Yep, plus they run an ad in RPM every 2 months. That's where I got all their phone numbers. Their 815 area code location can't be too far from where I live.

I'd really like to have NOS 3-9/16" FireCrater sleeves & Pistons for my Super H. It still has the factory 3-1/2" pistons/sleeves.
 
reliance is about the only "new" parts player out there and dont really care about quality china parts or repeat "private" customers
check with others and do more research
but it is just a little 169/75
