Somebody may have missed the memo that we aren't in 1983 anymore.

How about something like this: https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/d/edmonds-1978-volvo-244-dl/7280958108.html
The US market 740/940 was equipped with an Eaton G80 locker. The turbo cars got the G80 starting in 1991. The NA cars were fitted with G80s from 1993-1995. When you actually start working on a 240 these guys can talk you through the G80 install if you decide to go that route. They are cheap if you go pull one at a wrecking yard. About $100 or less. They will handle all your 283/Glide will put out.
I've been meaning to dig into this, but never spent the time. Does that mean a 1990 Turbo 740 would NOT have the locking rear diff?
Correct. It might have a dealer installed locker or clutch type positraction unit. It will not have a factory limited slip in it.
Bummer. Looks like I might have to consider an upgrade.
Find a complete axle in a wrecking yard and swap it in. If you have a place to work on your car along with a floor jack and stands the entire swap takes less than two hours.
so @283 the sensor would read temperature and turn on the fans? did I get that correctly? what is the purpose of the override switch?
