open diff to posi.......
I just purchased a posi carrier and was told it would "slap" right in.... now that I have it I don't see any channels for the locking clips.... advice on the process to swap over...????

Re: open diff to posi.......
What do you mean by channels for the locking clips? are you refering to c clips? If so they are on the ends of the axles. As far as slapping right in.. well kinda.. you will need new carrier bearings, new pinion bearings, and new crush sleave or solid spacer and new pinion and cover seals. If reusing the same gears you should be able to use the same shims but you should always measure anyway just in case.

What type of posi carrier, and what is it from?
I think chances are good you just got screwed...
PS- That's a sexy car you've got there. I love the rear slats.

You can get be with reusing the pinion bearings, no sweat. If you are careful pulling them, reusing the carrier bearings isnt out of the question either. However, I dont care what anyone on here will say, i agree with you, you should always measure everything anyway. All parts are made with tolerances. If you dont pull the pinion gear out, no need for a crush sleeve either.
to the op take a pic of what you got so we can help ya figure out what it is..
