Thanks... I hope I didn't get it wrong.

Yes though, you are correct that Dana 30s showed up earlier. '67 I think.. BUT... The cars with the dana 30 rear, and drum brakes ('67-69, and maybe late '66 including 122) have 10 spline axle shafts, and there ain't no ltd slip available.

I tried and tried and tried and tried and tried to find one for my '66 wagon when I installed the Dana 30, which I got out of a '67.

Then I tried some more, and a few more times.

I contacted manufactureres, and they flat told me that nobody ever has ever made and/or installed such a crazy thing as a dana 30 rear end with 10 spline axles. Period. Let alone finding a limited slip unit (or even a gear locker) for such a thing.

That's why I say them folks don't usually speak Volvo. Nothin' wrong with them... they are correct. A Dana 30 rear uses 27 spline axles. Period. Except some Volvos built twixt '67 and '69. I think Volvo just had a bunch of Spicer 27 axles left over, and had Dana make the '30' unit to fit them spares. Just a guess.
