If you had the cover off that would have been the time to see if it is a "posi" type carrier. You can check by jacking up one side of the rear end and leaving the one tire on the ground. Put a torque wrench on a lug nut on the opposite tire and see how much torque it takes to rotate the tire. Block the car to be safe.

or this? this is a 12 bolt, non posi. i think the factory posi will have that "s" shaped spring, like in motorhead's pic.
or it could look like the second photo, wich is another type of posi. i guess basically, if you see springs, its posi. and if it is posi, be sure to use the "limited slip" gear lube in it.
