Anyone have experience with carb pistons that don't go all the way up
in the bell (suction chamber)? Joe Curto says the piston only rises 3/4" to
1" and won't get stuck, but my mechanic says the car will have more power if
the piston doesn't get stuckj when it goes all the way up. We are sanding
the inside of the bell with 1000-grit paper. It takes a long time. Any
suggestions?

Forgive the obvious suggestion, but is it possible that, somewhere along the
line, you or a previous owner might have accidentally swapped pistons and/or
domes? It might be that simple...if you're lucky! (Been there, done that!)
