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.

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??

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

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

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.

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

I thought with the different valves that are interchangable that this setup would have been made for road racing applications.

Do you have instructions for the rear shocks you have?
That should clear up GM's intensions when they produced these.

'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.
