Iam going to edit and change it to 97% , forgot when i replaced tires , non white wall ,that the air i let out was replaced with modern air. LOL

Since you replaced the air with modern air I will not be giving you any more advice.
But you did take off the white walls;
So, there are presently 3 manufacturers of "original" shocks. Stipes are built to function internally as the original ones were designed. Brattons and Snyders both make shocks with their own internal design. We have heard no real complaints in quite some time about any of the manufacturers' shocks.
I believe that the Stipe shocks can accept original covers for judging purposes.
Be careful if you choose "modern" tube shocks as there are some that are way too stiff.
