Haven't had any issues other than this. I used Loctite 492145 545 Pneumatic/Hydraulic Thread Sealant, and haven't had to add air since I installed the bags a month ago.

If I were starting over, I'd go straight to shock relocators, adjustable track bar, a C-notch, and so-called static air bags.
I used a Schrader set-up for the back end of my 68 w/o issue for 6yrs. That being said, I would not do the same for fronts.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
