 There are a bunch of shocks that will bolt in whether the valveing is 
good is another question. 67 camaro shocks front and rear should bolt in 
 also
 Front: Buick GN 85/88, Regal 68/87     KYB KG4508, 4513, or 4509
 Rear: Vette 53/62, Nova 62/67, LTDII 77/? , Ranchero 66/79, TBird 72/79 
Camaro 82/99    KYB KG5562,5526[?], 5222
 Some of these front shocks will need the bushings changed to fit. The 
early Camaro KYB shocks might be a good choice, I convinced myself they 
would be the best but ended up buying a set of Koni.  I make no 
guarantees that all these will fit I did my comparing of part numbers on 
line, the camaro shocks I had a NAPA pull off the shelf and looked at 
them. Good luck. Jim
