Re: posi???
get both rear wheels off the ground and turn one, if t he other turns in the same direction you got posi (LSD) , or the the cover off and look for clutches in the carier

Re: posi???
Keep in mind that having a posi rear and having one that actually works are two different things on the 3rd gen.

Re: posi???
Most RS models did not have a Limited Slip (G80). It was a option that had to be special ordered in most cases on all RS models. Check your RPO list under the consol lid.

these are the rear axle codes for an 1988. I looked at the codes for all years and couldn't find the one you posted. Here is a link to all of them
http://www.sethirdgen.org/reardata.htm
Not sure if you are looking at the right numbers or not. As you can see all the codes start with a number; mine for example is 2PM C169 2 making it a posi rearend from a 1990-1992 vehicle ( unfortunately the previous owner had swapped in 4:10 gears which are hell with my Richmond Gear 5 speed).
