I have a great picture in my service manual beside me, but I am not near a scanner. No posi=no additive required.

My best guess is that your rear end is open (that sounds weird!!!), based on the Custom S and the six cylinder mill.

I go about 22 foot pounds on the cover bolts.

EDIT: Here is a picture of a posi unit.
Thanks for the info. Ya mine is just one gear (not near as clean as that). Looks like i should replace the rear end some day....i wasnt keen on the one wheel peels in the mutang
