Good shocks for a 66?

Hey Guys, I'd like to get some ideas for some good shocks all around on my 66 Fairlane hardtop with a 289. I saw some that Edelbrock makes and being self adjusting sounds great but they don't make any for our old fords. Is there better ones out there and I don't need drag shocks since this is only a street driven ride.

Re: Good shocks for a 66?

I have a new set of shock for my 66 I ordered them through the dealer they are good shocks. They were only one the car a month or so then I switched to drag shocks. I could check the name and dig them out if you are intrested.
