And the Autolites on '68s too?
I don't always downshift, but when I do it is near a Prius so they can hear me hurting the environment.

I think the 1968 KR 4 speed shocks are non-adjustable?

Yes but the latest I'm hearing is if you have Koni do them they come back with different features than the originals. One of the reasons I've not sent any out for rebuild.
