      OK so heres what I know so far.. I definately have Moser axles and I would venture to say that I definatley have a detroit locker differential in the rear.. When I was reading up on them it says that power is always 100% put to both wheels all the time and that the unit "ratchets" around corners(which sounds exactly like what the car is doing) The car really launches extremely hard off the line but the rear gets real squirrely when getting on and off the throttle which again I hear is common with this type of differential(unless Im wrong). So maybe its not wheel hop but that "loose" feeling I get in the rear of the car that throws me..

      Ive always had cars that had posi units in them so this is new to me.. Factor in that the car has a t56 6 speed with a very high first gear ratio and a 4:10 in the rear and it makes for a very hard launch... so my next question is this...

      This car definately was a drag car as some point..I am looking to make this car a pro touring car... 100% on the street but love to drive and handle through winding twisting roads.. is this differential gonna be a handful to drive under those conditions? If so what would be a better choice to have better street manners but still have the toughness? Also, this one seems to be in EXCELLENT condition so what could I get for it if I wanted to sell it off? The rear housing fits perfect under the car and I run a 295 street radial out back on 15 inch wheels.. I have plenty of room to run a 315 tire with an 18 inch rim which I plan on doing in the near future so I think I will keep everything intact but may want to swap out the differential for better street manners... What do you think? and thanks for all of the comments so far.
