Would this posi carrier work?
I want a good posi (not Eaton gov lock) but don't know how good the Zexel Torsen's are. Esp. with 64k on it. Will it still be a good unit? Anything I need to replace?
Here's the ebay listing

Re: Would this posi carrier work?
First it is called a LIMITED SLIP and NOT a posi.
Well, I know for a fact it's not less than $100. I bid $150 and it didn't meet reserve, so I think I'm giving up on it.
I posted another thread on here asking about open diff. for 3.23 and was quickly talked out of it, so I'm going posi ... besides, it would be a real shame to drop my 2.73 posi for taller gears with open diff. Just need to find the right carrier. Anybody got one for sale?

Posi and Limited Slip are one in the same. Posi is just a GM term for limited slip. I think you are thinking open diff. instead of LSD.

Oh, you were just wanting me to use the correct terminology. Cool. I thought you were one of the dumba$$es that thought limited slip and non-posi were the same.
Well, I decided that since my 2.73 is posi (RPO G80), I'm just canning the idea of getting a new carrier and going with 3.42 thick gear instead!
