	I swapped the open-diff out of my '90 for an LSD from a '91.

Straightforward and easy.  Very noticable difference in cornering

ability while under power.  With open-diff rearend wanted to breakloose

first during acceleration but was reasonably good while coasting.  With

LSD If I floored it, it cornered tighter than when at constant speed.

BTW, Make sure you have fluid in the diff after you swap it.  Won't last

more than 2 months after driving dry for 30 minutes.
