Roy,
I have a Daytona MIGI, I ran into the same problem with trying to re-index the torsion bars.
I looked on Samba for answers, people were installing Monroe MA 803 air shocks.
This works fine, I also installed a set of fill valves with air lines one for each shock.
I purchased these on EBAY, sorry I can’t find the original Part # for these.I carry 60 PSI, left side and 50 PSI right side seems to balance the rear end.
Shocks cost about $55. on Amazon.com

Wiring can be difficult,different manufactures had a slightly different take
on wiring, but most somewhat followed the original Beetle diagrams.I had such a mess in my car, most showed signs of overheating, I purchased a wire kit from Ron Francis wiring. Its not cheap, but is a quality kit.
The ammeter would be wired in series to the power source (generator) to the battery. All power runs through the ammeter. A better way to go in install a voltmeter. It is wired in parallel to the battery. Less chance of a
problem with hot wires.The existing motor sat in the garage of the former owner for ten years, with low oil. the former owner also said he had low oil pressure when he disassembled car.
