posi traction or a limited slip differential is the same thing.

I think 361 is the option code for a safe-t-track differential, the ratio should be a two letter code. Try this link: http://www.scgg.com/axle.html
Maybe it will help with what ratio you have.

I'm betting your LeMans has a 2.78:1 rear. Possibly a 3.08:1.

Are you saying Limited Slip and posi are the same?

I have a Posi rear in my 69 Lemans...2.78 I think...now, can I change that to, say, a 3.73, or 3.90? Or do I need to change the carrier??

69 GTO Clone - 350/350 with a 400 on the stand...It ain't pretty, but it runs!

You will need to change carriers or get a ring gear spacer

yes each is a different name for the same thing.

most of the 70's and 80's cars in the gm line used a g80 code on the build sheet for this option.

Stu, the PHS paperwork should tell you the two letter code and/or your gear ratio if memory serves me corectly.
