probably a stock auburn posi with a 3.23 ratio.

Check the stamp on the tubes, and look for a metal tag which will say what it had factory. Theres a link on the main page of TGO to help decode the link. Of course, in the last 15yrs someone could have easily swapped it so...

Or it could be a posi like the one in my '91 GTA... One tire fire, because its completely worn out... I've got a new auburn one with some new gears waiting though...

If the clutch packs are worn to the point where they can no longer do their job yes.
