when you say physically larger differential you are talking about the whole mechanism..i.e. a bigger pumpkin, so to speak? That would make sense as I think I saw cooling fins on the 560 differential and I am pretty sure that I do not have those on my 300SD differential. Chris [EMAIL

Mitch is correct. the 420 and 560 V8s used a physically larger differential. The diesels, 6s, and the 380 small V8 used the small differential. Different flange sizes are just one of the problems. So you must restrict your posi search to 380 or smaller engined 126 cars.. Jim in
