Everything I am seeing is discontinued. Is there a 90/10 front shock readily available for the trunnion cars?

Have you checked Calvert Racing in Lancaster Calif. ? (they make the Cal-Tracs). They might not be in the catalog but I bought a pair several years ago for my 68 AMX, they work really well, smoother ride around town too.
68 AMX 401,727.

I pulled a shock from the car and got dimensions, got with Calvert, and they say the dimensions are really close to the pre 74 mopars (roadrunner,dart,etc) I have a pair arriving tomorrow to try. Sadly, they're not from Calvert as theirs are on back order.
