Posi or pegleg?

Whats the quickest way to find out if I got posi or pegleg? While I'm at it I'd like to figure out what gears I'm using. How could I go about doing all this? On an unrelated side note I'd like to know where everyone is getting their K&N open air cleaners. I looked at their website, but couldn't find it for sale.

the best way is too simply raise the axle and spin one wheel if the other wheel spins the opposite direction it is open. don't just burn out because some times mine will spin both and it is an open. To know what gears you have crawl under the car and write down the numbers on the driver's side of the axle (faces the front of the car) e-mail them to me or make a post here with details about your car auto or stick, year? I got my K&N at a Speed shop, but you can get them at Autozone or racing magazines like summit. I hope this helps.

I did a little research and your car came with a 3.08 for a manual and 2.73s for a auto. Check out my post that says "swap 2.73s for 3.42s do I need other mods?" This will help if you are going to beef it up.
