Had the car (1990 iroc, 305)on the lift today and wrote down all the numbers i could find on my rear axle. Here's the long number that was on it(22522676). Does this # tell me what kinda gears i have and if it's a posi or not. I had the car in neutral while in the air and turned one of the rear wheels and they both spun in the same direction. Does this mean i have positive traction like some people have told me? If anyone can tell me what gear ratio i'm running or if i have posi. i'd appreciate it.

Check under the console lid for an RPO beginning with G (ie GT4). Then check it on the RPO decoder on this page.

The axle code will be on the front of the passenger side tube. You'll probably have to use a wire brush to find it. That number you gave means nothing to me.

Unless the diff was swapped out, the RPO codes are your best bet. Not all axle codes will tell you if it's a posi or not. You had it on a lift you could have easily checked for a posi. Turn one wheel forward. If the other side also goes forward it's a posi. If the other side goes backwards it's an open diff OR an Eaton govlock diff. Not as good as a real posi but better than plain open diff.
