Thanks red, that's what I assumed but wasn't sure because of the wording. I was a proffessional mechanic for 20 years so have a fairly good sense of feel. Also A and early V8 diffs are pretty easy to work on and not so finicky as hypoids. The last rear end I did at work was a double-reduction, 2-speed, with only shims for adjustments, lots of fun!
