Posi unit for 78 Maverick / Mustang 8"

[Topsterguy]

Hi Folks!  I've got an 8" rearend from a 78 Maverick in my 32 coupe, but it doesn't have posi. Having a 383 stroker in it obviously when I hit the go pedal once in awhile it lites up bigtime, SO, I want to put a posi in it. Any ideas on #'s or what's best etc etc!!??  Thanks ahead of time!  Larry

Check with "Randy's Ring and Pinion"

Check into the Detroit TrueTrack limited slip on Randy's Ring and Pinion website and see if it is available for the eight-inch rear. I have one in my '32's 9-inch rear, and it is the best of both worlds--like driving a open rear end until you nail the throttle and the torque engages both rear wheels. It is perfect in light cars like ours.

ehay has had some 8 inch posis for sale but be prepared to spend some money. it would be nice to find an origional one but they are way pricey.

I see a guy on ebay ( Quick Performance) that has them at $275. They're brand new 8" 28 spline, clutch type posi ( Trac - loc). Looks like it's a shop somwhere. Anyone heard of them or know anything about Trac - loc?

A Trac-Loc is similar to a GM positraction in that it has clutches that create the limited slip function. They are a good unit and generally less expensive than a True-Track.

I recently purchased a new Auburn Gear posi via EBay...and actually saved $175 over the cheapest price I could find it online. The problem I had was I checked EBay every other day for a year and a half before one came up for an 8" Ford. I was lucky I really didn't have to have it right away. You can buy new at Jaws Gear  http://www.jawsgear.com/store/catalog/index.php?cPath=31_189_240
