Hi,
I have a '70 Coronet with original 8 3/4 sure grip and 2.94 ratio.
It didn't want to do a burnout so I loosened up the rear brakes and the first burnout was perfect. Stood on the brake and let the tires smoke for couple seconds, then let off the brake and it made two 100ft long lines on the street. Ofc I had to try it again. I could hear a funny sound and when I took off I saw it only spun the passenger side tire. I tried to loosen up the drivers side brake more and tried again. Now the noise was even worse and it definitely came from the rear end. One wheel peel again.
Is the LSD gone or is there something I can do to it rather than full rebuild? And is it safe to keep driving it like this? Wouldn't want to end the driving season yet.
