thanks for the advice.
Is it safer to have one air fill line per shock?
My gtx and this car have a shared fill line using a T.
Yes it will take more time to fill them, but just makes more sense to me if you hit a pot hole, the air supply is not shared with another shock.
I really have to guard against this thing bottoming out when its done.

Yes, I would run one line per shock and I would never run old or NOS shocks-just for display only. I would run new ones for the street.

Again, if you buy correctly arched springs you should not even need the air shocks for normal driving...but I would have them just for looks and in case you hit a huge bump or pothole as extra insurance.

I run 2 seperate lines because my drivers side sags some and you can preload each side if you want to. Actually when my SS nova was new back in the early days I did not run air shocks but used a shackle kit instead. Gave me more room for tires and of course looked good. Many Stock/SuperStock cars used a shackle kit in the early days.

I would say that the E-body rear valance would prevent him from running shackles.
There is a rear view picture of the 68 Camaro in the Motion book that shows the two air gauges mounted in the tail light panel. Rosen used the air shocks as a tuning aid to preload the suspension. This is one reason to run two lines.
I'm thinking about adding the two gauges on the rear of my car.
