I think the new ones are better--at $900 they better be. I'm researching
the best source, I understand Cambridge Motorsports resells something
called an Attex or something like that. I'll know more soon.

I was using this type of diff back in the late 60's when it was illegal to
weld solid the stock units. I still have it today in a drawer (minus the
center floating slug). It was sawed in half and welded into a TR-2
differential when I wondered why I couldn't set the axle float. I went to
Mid-Ohio (old track), threw oil all over the track, and was spinning out

another story.
I was advised at that time to go to the locked rear end. The clutches can
throw you, or cause spinouts. Using a locked rear end is like having a
big
roller behind you -- helps keep you going in the direction that you want.
Lots of people are now using the positraction type rear ends. I can only
assume that the more scientific people have advanced over my ancient
learning's.
