Did any 914-6 come from the factory with limited slip differential?

Based on what I see in the factory parts catalog, there is no reference to 914-6 that includes LSD.

If the answer is "yes" some came with LSD, is there a way you can tell by looking without opening the case?

Doesn't a LSD have to be disengaged at speeds above 5 mph? What's the difference between a LSD & posi-traction?

I would call LSD a generic term that could refer to a friction disc style limited slip or a torque biasing style. As I recall, posi-traction was a marketing term used by Chevrolet or GM for their LSD. My memory may be faulty on this and I'm sure someone on here can correct me if I'm not accurate.

Posi-traction was a GM trademark term.

And it was not available on the 1964 Buick Skylark!
