My gosh . . . . . . a pair of $1500 shocks! What's the world coming to?

Some puns should not be done..... now, if it was a distributor or TI ignition.

I was 19, might have messed up the install - but I found out that they didn't work well. I'd try it again though to avoid paying $1,500!

yea, actually there is some info on Yahoo that states they are all the same length when open. I just can't believe that Hurst or any other manufacturer would make 100 different types of shocks for different applications in the old days. But I could be wrong. Bolting them to traction bars kinda null and voids the travel issue I would think. No matter what, the camaro versions whether mono or multi leaf will always be the big ticket because of the popularity of the camaro. As they say &quot;stupid money.&quot; Also I don't think you messed up the installation. Maybe you had shackles or after market springs that made the rear sit higher or lower? This is the fun of Day-2!

[Schonyenko2]

That's why we all ran shock extensions.

Speaking of Day-2 parts, I'm looking for some headers, valve covers, ignition, fan, and traction bars. Any help? I may not look for shocks, way out of my range!

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

I think you both might be right, I had shackles and shock extenders - with mono leafs! What kid measures first, then buys tires? We bought the biggest tires we could first, then figured out how to make them fit, [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]



This setup got me pulled over numerous times - one officer actually pulled out a tape measure, back bumper was too high so he issued me a citation, [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img] My dates would slide off the front seat when I hit the brakes if/when a fresh coat of Armour All was recently applied!
