Definitely could be a Sears or Monkey Wards job. I can remember my dad went to both of them.

On the shocks, when I got the new Monroe's they had a plastic band holding them compressed. When I cut it to put them on, they immediately began to expand. To the point where I had to recompress one of them (with much greater difficulty than the old ones) to get it in the holes.

I've already got the first book listed - shop manual. I'll look for the others too.

Thanks once again.

Ah, there you go, then. Both of those chains, and others like them, tended to periodically run sales drives on the accessory-o'-the-month (week, season, etc.). "Just $39.99 gets you amazing new Load-Handl'r booster springs! Stabilizes ride! Reduces tire wear! Insulates your house! Filters your coffee!" etc.

That's how gas-charged shocks work. Non-gas-charged shocks have been off the market for years.

No need to quote the entire message you're replying to, BTW. Unless there are specific text points you want to respond to, you can just hit "Reply".

Pertronix sounds familiar. I think that was it.
