Just bought a dirty six to break, it has lots of great parts but I am really puzzled by 2-3 things,

The inlet manifold and tb look different, normally I'd think its just crap of Been painted but given the amount of quality mods its got (hartage strut brace, snchitzer exhaust, 19" m6 reps etc etc)
I am thinking it could be decent,

(Sorry ^ I never know which one to select).

Any ideas what it is??


Also it had only been stood for a few months according to the owner, but on trying to winch it on to my truck the rear wheels wouldn't let go at all, ( I had to drag it up using gravel and even washing up liquid). I have dragged cars that have been buried in weeds and sinking into the ground even but usually the brakes let go!

I suspect its not the brakes, any idea why this was happening?? (It was a manual, hand brake down and in neatraul obviously).


Finally, is there a way of telling if it has an LSD by markings? (I know about spinning it and the like).


Any thoughts appreciated.


Thanks in advance.
