10-bolt 28 or 30 spine count?

To the best of my knowledge my rear is still the factory original. With that said is there an easy way to tell of my rear has a 28 or 30 spine count? I have a chance to pick up a set of 3.42s w/ posi unit for 28 spine count dirt cheap and would like to not pass it up. Currently my car has 3.08s w/ a worn posi unit, on a drum rear.

Your 89 is in the transition time period. It's a good chance that it's 28 spline but it could also be the 26 spline. The only way to tell is to count the splines.

If yours isn't 28 spline, you can always buy a set of aftermarket 28 spline axles. They're only $125 each.

Thanks guys, while I was checking the archives I did not note what year was the cross over period. Don't know why I typed 28/30 instead of 26/28...
