    Looks like a Borg Warner diff, early models used a Salisbury.

    You could use anything like 80-140w oil in that.

    i emailed the spool guy on ebay and im like can i take it to u and u fit it etc (its a shop)
    and this is what he said:

    Hi, If your diff is a LSD then I can fit a mini spool, it will cost you $330.00 Drive in Drive out, If not LSD then you will have to fit a Full Spool, this will cast you $550.00 drive in drive out, Please call ------- or 04-------
    Thanks
    Joe

    550 for a 80 dollar spool fitted???????
    is he right about the "full spool" thing????????

    Yep cause you replace the carrier with a full spool then crown wheel and pinion, have to be adjusted new seals etc.
    Be nearly cheaper to buy an lsd salisbury 10 bolt
