You have an open end differential, a lot of people including myself have this on their cars, it's the normal rear end on most vehicles, unless you get a performance rear end. that's usually either a "Posi" or a "Limited slip Differential"

well there's a few things you can do, you can weld your diff, but that eats tires like crazy, or find a tow package rear end from a caprice, those almost always are posi rear ends

and to be honest, the stock 305 (or I guess 4.3L you have in your caprice) wouldn't be able to spin both wheels
