If it's a Ghia it will have 3.45 LSD. If it's an option, you can try turning one side by hand and having another person on the other side watch/try and stop it moving to check if it has LSD I think?? But I could be totally wrong LOL!!

Was reading up on both Ghia and non Ghia and it said for both that it was 3.23 with LSD as an option... Could be wrong though.

well its not a ghia... so i wont worry about it i think...
thanks for the replies guys. He said he wants $150 so i thought id get a bargain. Even if its a 3.23 LSD i think ill grab it, just wanted the 3.45s though. Anyhoo, we will see what happens.

if it's a 3.45 ratio it will take 3.45 rotations of the tailshaft to spin one wheel 360 degrees. As X Rated mentioned to check if it's lsd jack the diff and if both wheels spin the same direction it's LSD, if they spin opposite directions it's a SS.
