Hi friends, who can tell me what kind of differential is the one shown at photos. Is installed in a coupe 73, 302. Now planning to open it to see what is inside, what shall I look to determine if is conventional, limited slip, traction lock or other?

Thanks as always.

Not factory Ford.

My guess is it's from a Jeep of some sort (Cherokee XJ/Grand Cherokee/early Wrangler YJ).

Get the back wheels off the ground.

Rotate the passenger side wheel clockwise.

If the drivers' side rotates forward as well, you have tracloc or posi.

If the other wheel rotates in the opposite direction, it is open diff.

A more interesting way to find out is to just do a big smokey burnout and have your buddy tell you. Not sure if that's an option though, it looks like your car is in paint.

 
it looks like your pumpkin is not centered . . kit looks like it is off to the right . . i would check it out . . if the driveshaft comes off of it at an angle it may cause vibrations.
