    Whats this original posi carrier with 308 GM ring & pinion worth? Used, out of my 71. Was running fine when swapped out for an Eaton Tru-Trac 410.
    I think it needs to go....

    That is not a factory 71 posi unit.

    Pretty sure it is. Build date was late 70. I believe GM was using two different types back then.

    Some of the 8.5’s that came in the Buicks came with a cone style posi unit,much like the 8.2” units. I have NEVER found one in a 71-72 Cutlass/442 8.5”. It would be more desirable if it was a clutch unit,but would be good for a resto or cruiser,especially with those 3:08’s.
