Jack the wheels up and turn them, when one is turned if the other turns the same direction you have posi, or take the diff cover off and look. its not hard.
and im assuming you have the LG4 4BBL engine (305)
you can probably expect 12mpg.

With "non-aggressive" driving, about 18-20 mpg around town, 25-27 mpg highway.
Based on my personal experience when my LG4 was stock, and that of my nephew when he had an '86 Berlinetta LG4. Assuming properly tuned and maintained.
