"Posi-Trac" is actually a GM term used for GM's limited slip differential. Chrysler called their limited slip differentials the "Sure Grip". Generally speaking, a "Posi" is a limited slip differential.
EDIT: I got treed, big time.

If this reply was directed to me:
I meant no disrespect. The question you asked is a beginners question, plain and simple. I figured I would help you out and explain the correct terminology. I don't crack nads, I try and enlighten when I can. Sorry you were offended.

the cone style may not be optimal but it works fine. I have beat on the cone type with 400 h.p. with no problems.

You could beat it with 2000 hp , that still doesn't change the fact that it's a POS design .

If you know that then you also know that you'll "get your nads cracked" for calling it a posi here (of ALL places).
Don't come in here and immediately do something that you KNOW will pizz people off. That's arrogance.
