I had a 78 Volvo 264 and had limited slip installed at time of delivery. They installed free for the cost of the part, yes they kept the old internals.
It was really great. I had some gravel roads to drive to get to my 8 acre farm... And in the snow it was quite good.
I also had a largish horse trailer and would haul that and two horses to hunts where the parking was invariably in a field or pasture which was of necessity lower than the road or drive beds. When it was time to go, with the limited slip I would put it in first and get great traction on wet sod and grass. The folks with the pickup trucks, and they were the majority in the horsey set, did not fair so well, and some of the 4 wheel drive pickups would struggle with the extra 3500 or 4000 pounds of trailer and rolling resistance on turf. (Took that vehicle to a body shop for a retorative paint job and the shop burnt down with it inside.)
The horses, trailer and farm went the same way as the 1st wife :)
