how many of you have a posi-traction on ur stang? did you have it installed or did it come with it? I'm thinkin about getting it for my stang....actaully I'm begining to wonder now, if there is a donor car out there at I can get it from with rear disc brakes?...haha, is anybody else like me?? always thinking of ways or things you want to put on your ride! lol

 

im havinga new differential with new gears put in

and yes im always looking for new things to put on my car to make it better

 

nope....still doin the one wheel burnouts around corners

 

Thought i was the only one!! I was thinking maybea next winter project.

 

I never leave home without it. You just gotta have posi.

 

Uneducated Aussie here: is posi-traction the same as a Limited Slip Diff?

 

im lookin to buy my posi unit from auburn an throw some 3.80s in at the same time. im just afraid ill bust open the 8"[:@]

 

Actually "Posi" is a GM term, but it has pretty much become an industry standard term for a limited slip or "Traction-lock" (Ford term) rear end. If one wheel loses traction, power is transfered to the other one.

I don't have one, but it's on the list.

 

Years ago, I found a 69/70 Torino wagon in a small rural junk yard with a 8" 3.00:1 & t-lock. I think the pumpkin cost me $40, and I dropped it in my '66 coupe with no problems. I bought a new cable gear from the Ford dealer to correct the speedo (back when they stocked parts for classic Mustangs!). Very happy with the change, despite only being a slight improvement over the 2.80:1 open gears. Still spins both tires after 60K+ add'l miles...

 

I upgraded to a Granada 9" with discs but was an open dif. I added a trac-loc with 3.70 gears. I have not had it out yet, at the body shop, but I am sure I will be happy.
