Default Help with Strange Double Adjustable Shocks

I just put a pair of the Strange Double Adjustable shocks on the front and the Strange single adjustable shocks on the rear. I know the front shocks ***** are for compression and rebound. Which is which, how do I tell the difference. On the rear shocks, is that for compression only? Does anybody have a baseline that I should use to initially set the fronts and rears at? This car is primarilly a drag car, not a dd. Thanks

On my dbl adj AFCOs the compression **** is on the bottom and rebound on the top. I am guessing its the same for Strange but not 100%.

The Strange shocks have both ***** at the bottom of the shock. The larger plastic **** with the ridges is the extension(rebound) adjustment, the round metal **** is the compression(bump) valve.
