Call them direct as they are out of stock on their website. 920-467-2895. They will put you on a waiting list if you do decide to go with them.
 
Thanks all for your advice. I am going to adjust the rear Houdaille shocks to stiffen the ride, and adjust the front Houdaille shocks to soften the ride.


Should the Houdaille shocks fail to make the car comfy for my backseat driver, then I will convert to modern telescoping shocks. My 190A needs to be roadworthy for the trip to the 2020 New England Meet in Newry, Maine.

I wouldn't convert until trying different weight oils versus the glycerin originally used. A good anti foaming oil should work well in that application. Often folks are too quick to throw parts at a problem before seeing if the original stuff is actually working correctly.
 
Hi Purdy,
Yes you can, but the Houdaille shocks must come off of the car to change the fluid. To get the fluid out, cycle the shock upside down with the drain plug out.
 
Oldbird55, I have a Victoria and before I bought my modern shocks, I called and talked to Ken Davis and I was told that his shocks will fit the Victoria! I've installed the front ones, love ❤️ them! Haven't put the rear on yet. Where did you get your information?
