Welcome Kip, post your question in the transmission and drivetrain section with what gear ratio you want/have to use. Also add some pictures of your car.

Welcome to the site Kip!

I figure you have two basic solutions about posi.
1-Buy a complete rear and bolt it in after removing yours.
2-Have your existing diff. modified/changed.

Don't forget to check out the drive train section here.

Post up any specific questions you might have. Somebody who knows can help you out.

Good luck with your project. By the way, I chose option 1 for my 71.

Hi Kip

Welcome.
You've definitely got the best looking year for the Cutlass. Enjoy your 68.
