Thanks, Kurt

I have searched through the website, and I dont see anything Chevelle specific. And since I don't yet own a chevelle or have access to one to to get some measurements, I was just curious if anyone knows what would work. Thanks, Kurt

Go to air ride's site again, go to the on-line catalog and look under "strong arms" for cars. They should have a front kit and a rear kit listed. The compressor/valve set-up you would prefer is the ARC4100e. We install them all the time... great results.

This is what I've picked out.

Does this look correct?
Is there anything else I need or that you would recommend?

Front - SKW1018-LUCA

64-72 GM A-Body single adjustable Shockwaves with tubular upper and lower arms

Rear - ARR20800-LUCA

64-67 Cool Ride kit with tubular upper and lower trailing arms

Compressor System - ARC4100E

Complete 4 way RidePro e compressor system with new RidePro e controller - includes two Thomas compressors, compressor relay,5 gallon tank, 4 way RidePro solenoids, RidePro e controller, wiring harness, airlines and fittings. Rise Time:2-4 seconds

Those look correct.

I would reccomend the ART strong arms in the front......They are very nice and well made! They will also allow more drop in the front without running a dropped spindle. In most cases it will lay frame w/o drop spindles.......Everything else looks great you will be very happy with the ART products

Actually there is a new part # for the 64-67 A Body front Shockwaves. SKW1036-LUCA The upper spring pocket is different dropping the car a little too much, so we now use a longer shock for the 64-67. Everything else looks good. That tank with the compressors and everything fits great on the shelf in the trunk.

After my latest problem with ART components and talking to Darrin just a few moments ago,I've come to the conclusion that I cannot in good conscience recommend using their products on a daily driven car or truck. So far,I've spent over $5K on parts & installation and in less than 2,500 miles,have had nothing but problems. The only good thing I can say about all this is the patience and understanding shown by Steve Cook Creations,my installation center. Thanks,Steve & Rodney.

Thank you for the input, I am still curious about the analog controller, I think that would be something that would fit me better.

Another option you have, as far as manual valves, is through Master Image Customs out of California. They sell a billet needle and seat valve that has some nice flow and they are extremely cost effective... about $65 a piece (you will need four). I have used them in the past and was extremely pleased.

One thing that sucks about manual valves is you have to run all the air lines into the dash directly to the switches. The also exhaust the air at the switches.
