Default Tuned Posi - Tom's Diff

Tom of Toms differentials is building a 30 spline C clip Diff for my 1971 - LT1.

415 stroker - T 600 - 30 spline c clip diff 3.55 gears

He called and said my diff was the subject of a new you tube video. I thought others might like to see the video. It’s very informative.

Pretty good information, as built a few of these myself. Dont screw things up by adding friction modifier oils to quiet things down around turns, as will sacrifice clutch pack lock up. C-clips are fine, but some tracks are wanting external hub retainers, so if an axle shaft snaps, the wheel wont come off. Could be an ugly sight at those speeds, plus axle lube dumping all over.
