I bought the moss tube shock conversion for my 73 simply because it was =
a lot cheaper. lever shocks can be made to perform as well as tube =
shocks by adjusting the oil and the damper valve. before I replaced =
mine, which could hold oil for maybe a mile, I put in gear oil (90 wt) =
just for grins. suspension was absolutely rock hard until it all bled =
out

New shocks will seem an improvement over old shocks, either way.
