Arrgh...I hate Ebay. I need those like I need a Toothache but there I am Bidding on them. Somebody put me out of my Misery......

[sixtiesmuscle]

I need them, so, QUIT bidding on them!! I have the matched rears on a car already. Found them at a local swap meet about four years ago in the same condition.

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

I have some spiral drag shocks with Delco part numbers on them, dated '68 or '69! They were too wide at the bottom to fit my lower A-arms though, what to do with them??

[Chevy454]

Hey M...reckon they'll fit an A-body? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

I used to have 90/10s on the front and 50/50s on the back but they sure did'nt look like these. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Interesting. I've never seen these before. But they look more like drag shocks than road race shocks.

Can we see a pic of what the rear ones look like?

[sixtiesmuscle]

Sure can Joe. They're on the car I'm taking to Vettefest in November. It would be kinda hard to get a decent pic of them mounted in the car.

[camarojoe]

Is this a Chevelle or Camaro you're referring to? Are they chrome plated like these fronts are?

[68z302]

I thought with the different valves that are interchangable that this setup would have been made for road racing applications.
SIXTIES hope I didn't blow this for you! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif
Do you have instructions for the rear shocks you have?
That should clear up GM's intensions when they produced these.

[sixtiesmuscle]

'67 Nickey/Thomas Camaro. Yes, they're chrome. The instructions refer to adding oil to provide the different rates, I think form 50/50 to 90/10.

[Fhakya]

Does anyone have the complete story on these? Knowing a little about shocks it can't be as simple as adding more oil to adjust the rate. Please fill us in (no pun intended).
