Koni shocks; reset to lowest setting

[roddster]

 I've have a set of Konis that I removed from my 67 GT 350 years ago.  I do not remember where the setting was, so, before I mess something up I want to know if there is a way to tell when to stop turning the shock while setting the stiffness.
  Thanks

Great question! I hope there is an answer, because all you read is compress it until it clicked in, then turn it X amount for needed stiffness?

(Boy they sure said stuff different back in the 60's, although the medical community did not perscribe 15 different drugs to people, thus 30 reactions....I am ending, before I go over the edge....

Great question though...)

  Bump.  No answer yet....

I just checked my old ones and they just simply stop in either direction after about two and a half turns.

Found this online.  Is it correct for the vintage shocks under discussion? 

Rebound Adjustment Procedures

Remove the shock absorber from the vehicle and hold it vertically with the lower eye or pin attached in a vise. Use clamp plates to prevent damage.
Fully collapse the shock absorber, at the same time turning the dust cap or piston rod slowly to the left (counterclockwise), until it is felt that the cams of the adjustment nut engage in the recesses of the foot valve assembly.
Some shock absorbers include a bump rubber concealed under the dust cover and it must be removed prior to adjusting.
The damper may have already been adjusted. Therefore check whether the shock absorber is in the adjustment position or not by keeping it collapsed and gently turning it further to the left counting at the same time the half turns until a stop is felt. Stop turning then and do not use force.
Keeping the shock absorber collapsed, make 1 half turn (180 degrees) to the right (clockwise). In case of prior adjustment add the number of half the turns previously found. The total range is about 5 half turns.
Pull the shock absorber out vertically without turning for at least 1 cm to disengage the adjusting mechanism. The dust cap or piston rod may now be turned freely.
