Diff Question

I have owned my 66, L79 since 1974 so i know for a fact its the original 3:70 gears...my car is a Dec. 14 build date

Question:

Is it possible to determine what/which Posi Unit is in the car without disassembling it by just using the Build Date...

I hear/someone told me there are 2 different type of DANA UNITS?

I am thinking of changing Ratio's...

TIA

The answer to your question is also in the archives if you search.

Hi , I was just going to suggest that,

Jack

You have an early eaton posi . The later ones 71-79 had better spider gears....but not as good bolts etc.

You don't have a Dana Posi

Dana posi units were only used in '63-'64, and most of those have been converted to Eaton units as the original weak Dana units failed. '65-up all used Eaton units.
