nice find!
and if its the one that looks identical to the stock GS shock, its a direct bolt on.

and I honestly wouldnt try to adjust it unmounted.
mine for example, was from an 89 and even installed was a Real pain to adjust.
I guess the PO never adjusted it much if ever, as it was pretty tight getting it to turn the first click.
