I've disassembled my 1968 9" limited slip diff and it appears to be an Equalok, with the 5 tab clutch plates.
It seems that this diff had a hard life.The thrust washer and corresponding thrust surface on the diff cover are pitted and maybe galled. The thrust washer definitely needs replacing.
Is this diff cover junk, can it be used as is, or would the thrust washer surface need to be machined?
Are the side gears and spider gears interchangeable in these diffs or are they unique to the type of diff (open, traction lok, equalok)?
This thing needs a complete overhaul. It may make more sense to use a different carrier.
