Any shock sold by any vendor will work on any model A. That's easy.


Now, while you are at it do you want the ones that most closely match what was on the car when built? See the Guidelines.


You want shocks that work exactly like the original and you can even replace the covers with original covers, then you need the ones built by Stipe.


P.S. (The guidelines show no less than 3 different needle valves depending on the month for 1930, that's just the Houdaule shocks not the Spicer, National Acme, or the Ford.)
