Limited Slip or Not?

Limited Slip or Not?
Some of the time when I do burnouts I have a one wheel flamer (ussually when the tires are not warmed up) but I also have gotten both wheels to break loose and leave rubber on the ground (usually after the tires have been warmed up) I know I have 2.73 gears as I have rear drum brakes. I haven't been able to clean off my Rear Axle ID number enough yet. All I can see so far is 2H, which tells me nothing. I know that there was an option for 2.73 with limited slip,(says so in my GM Shop Manual for my 1986 Camaro). I am wondering if I have a limited slip that is not working right? Because I thought you couldn't brake both tires loose on an open differencial.

Re: Limited Slip or Not?
An open differential will sometimes spin both tires. The only way to know for sure what you have is to open the cover and look.
