Any one done this to a model A rear banjo . Looked to me some of those old model A’s hooked up pretty good with both wheels spinning in the sand .
It is unlikely they had a Positraction in an "A" rear end but most likely had the rear end locked either with a spool or by various different methods.

A discussion is going on over on the Fordbarn early V8 forum now about locking "A" rear ends.

As a side note, I drove a 32 roadster on the street with a locked rear end for many years and as long as you run normal street tires and get used to the slight chirping on corners, you will never know it is there.
