Are Mark 8's suppose to have posi at wot? Mine does, and from what the previous owner told me the rear was never touched? It was my first time doing a burnout put it in first and gave it some gas, my friend watched it he told me 1 went then the other, that was at mid throttle he said at wot they both went andkept going until I let off then 1 went? Does this sound right? When I race my friends 5.0 tonight we went back and there were 2 posi marks 1 from me and 1 from him so this isent some fluke, idk whats up?

You have an open differential, it lays down two strips when on level surface.

Posi = Chevy

Trac-Lok = Ford/Lincoln/Mercury

Mine catches every once in a while

They will catch on the right surface but until you drive a car with a rear in it... you have no idea

These days the word "posi" is a genericized trademark for a limited slip..

Lift both rear wheels off the ground (after chocking the front wheels of course,) throw the car in neutral and turn one wheel. If you're turning a wheel one way and the other doesn't turn/turns in the opposite direction, it's an open differential. Which it is anyway unless the gnomes sneaked into your garage at night and replaced the carrier with an LSD.
