My valve is in the trunk, yours may be there or near the rear license plate, or somewhere else near the rear. They come with plenty of line so you can run them anywhere.

Mine said do not run the car with less than 25 lbs of pressure in them, since yours has been sitting I wouldn't think thats a problem.

Trace the lines, put in 25-40 of air and check the next day to see if they are holding the air.

no. some say that if you pump them up too much they will break off the top and shoot through the rear seat.

but that would be with WAY too much pressure. like 100+lbs. i think all they would need is about 40-50 to make it sit right and theyll be fine.

they would look like this. but may be in another color.

I have some too. The fill nipple is in the trunk on mine, next to the gas tank. Funny lookin buggers, I just laughed when I looked under and found them. Mine are very large, look like cocktail shakers. I can get pics if you want.

Shocks are shocks and springs are springs. Shocks absorb shocks and springs hold the car up. By using air shocks you take the springs out of the equation. The body pan at the upper shock mounts was not designed to carry the weight of the car. Damage can occur, of that there can be no doubt.
