LSD help needed

[Gary Waggoner]

I have 2 diffs for my 1970 coupe, my original and a 74. Both are open and I want an LSD. What is the best way to go about this? Buy an existing LSD diff or build 1 of mine? I have called VSR twice and sent 2 emails with no response. Metric mechanic? Anyone have a fresh LSD? Willing to trade towards new with my 2 open diffs.

I was going to refer you to Timothy Leary, but he seems to be gone...

Many shops save their LSD units for long term clients or clients who bring their car in for bigger jobs. Selling off rare parts and losing future work isn’t too smart. Offering up open diffs as trade material isn’t really that attractive- I bought 10 open diffs this year for 50 bucks each. Now I have 20 of them.
I guess CK has 50 or more.


Bottom line - if a 3.25 ratio is ok for you, I would buy the 1972 one that is available for 1200.00

I will look more into gear ratios. Thanks
