What initial adjustment do people use for the basic Konis?

I am preparing for a new work session on the type 65. All the suspension parts have arrived. I would like to have a shocks adjusted before I install them. 347 Ford with IRS. I understad they are supplied adjusted to the softest position.

Not necessarily. Although they are usually on the soft rebound setting out of the box I have found some that are not so you are wise to check them. My experiences are with Roadsters running 3 link so may not be the same as your IRS Coupe but with those when using the factory spring rates I set the front to soft and the rear to one click up from soft (they're a little bouncy in back on full soft in my opinion).

Thank you gentlemen!
