Did all 350's get posi ??
The reason i ask is i did a burnout the other day, and only left one mark on the pass side ??
Also one non related Q, when i put the key in the ignition "INFL REST" comes on and then goes off, what does that mean ??

INF REST means your computer is checking to see that your air bag is working I think. I also think you may have a limited slip diff. Don't know the difference but I think that was the rear end.

It is entirely possible for a person ordering a car to delete the Limited Slip Axel. Got a buddy that did it to a brand new T/A a few years back for one reason. To BURN rubber. He was not interested in low ET's but leaving a long black layer of rubber down the road.
It was his car.
In short: I would guess 95%-99% of all 350s have the limited slip, but not all.
I also happen to know that my limited slip axel likes to spin the right rear wheel. It IS Limited slip, cause...I installed it.

The airbag light is suppose to come on when you turn the ignition on and shut off. If it stays on then there is a problem with the airbag. I have never come across a 350 with out posi. But I suppose its possible.

limited slip is supposed to act like positraction when both weels get similar traction.
when you take a turn it will open up and act like a "open" differential to let the inside tire to turn slower than the outside tire to reduce tire wear and stress on the rear diff.
to tell if you have limited slip or open differential jack your car up at the rear and turn one wheel with your hand. if the other wheel turns the same way you have limited slip. if it turns the opposite way you have a true open differential
