Re: how do i identify posi or not?

To be absolutely certain, you must pull the rear cover.

Sure, you can check the codes stamped on the axle housing, or jack up the rear and play with the tires, but the best way is to pull the cover and look.

To know if you have it, you have to pull the cover and look at your differential. To know if it works do a good old fashioned brake stand....2 black marks = posi, one black mark = non posi or broken posi.
