limited slip diff.
On your car, with the rear end in the air, if you turn one wheel the other should move the opposite direction if you do not have an LSD.
If the other wheel does not turn or turns the same direction that points to having a clutch type LSD. This test only works on the clutch type. The Fluid or Viscous uses a different test (one wheel turned one direction, then reveresed and turned and then reveresed back again and turned, then the rear should lock up and both wheels turn).
It sounds to me based on your description that you have an LSD that the wrong gear oil (the 84-88 clutch type used an LSD additive or a specific for LSD gear oil) was used in or that the rear end is worn out.
