An adjustable strut will have some type of collar which will allow the spring to be set tighter or looser, look for threads on the outside of the strut body and a big nut which u would spin up or down. there may be a few other designs, that are used, but that was the most common.

A strut is a combination of a shock absorber and a coil spring
March is like heavy footsteps. strut is like walking in pride
A spring is just a spring, a strut is a combination shock and spring unit which fits between the A frame and the vehicle body.
I believe they should be struts, not shocks. The only difference is where the bracket is for the brake line, the strut itself is the same.
They are of different size and travel of the piston in the strut bore. The mounting hardware is different on the two.
They're usually sightly differently shaped to attach well to the strut and the chassis.
The only difference on a 67 is that the holes in which the strut rod mounts to are unique to that year. Other than that, they are identical to the 68 - 73. The best thing to do with a 67 is just get 68 - 73 strut rods. Better strut rods and lower control are out they for a 68 - 73, unless you are keeping it stock. then it really doesn't matter.
No, a Macpherson is a strut -shock combo unit that fits between the A frame and the vehicle frame.
Its very simple, continuous means a single long member(an angle, a channel etc) is used as a column while in discontinuous many small members are joined to make a compression member.
you will need to rent a strut spring compressor tool from your local auto parts store, first locate the top of your strut on the inside of your trunk, there should be three nuts located at the top of the strut..one on the strut itself and two on each side...second pull the tire off the side that your working... third compress the strut spring with the tool, then with a adjustable wrench hold the top of your strut, while unscrewing the nut on top with a (13mm or 14mm ) wrench...forth locate the bolt on the bottom of the strut remove it(16mm or 17mm)and the strut will come down....remove the old strut and replace with new one...re-install
From what I recall the only visible difference is the mounting brackets for brake hoses and the hub/disc assy. Oh, and they have different part numbers....
