Nobody knows.

r3v to redline and drop the clutch.

1 black line = no lsd
2 black lines = lsd

Nope.

2.79 were made in LSD configs.

I think I read they were for '84.

You could jack up one rear tire and try to spin it by hand, if it spins it isn't.

[cerdafied]

damn. well i guess i'll have to try a few different things.... thanks people.

if you jack the rear end up at the diff, just spin one wheel forward. if the other wheel spins backwards it's an open diff.

also from what I remember, with an open diff you won't hear the inside wheel grabbing for traction on tight turns when taking off.

why not just check for the tag on the housing, an "s" on the tag with the ratio would denote LSD, iirc

Just do a badass burnout, wtf.

[cerdafied]

i think the 2.29:1 diff belongs in the rare parts thread

S on the tag just means that the tag was originally on an LSD. if he bought it used, anything is possible. just sayin'.
