If it's out of a V8 car then yes it's posi. Since it is out of the car (assumingly) ask him if you can pull the cover and inspect it. If you're still skeptical of the gear ratio too you can count the teeth.

Isn't a code stamped on the Pinion gear that you can look as well?

It will be a ratio of gear you divide them into each other and theres your gear ratio.

At least thats what I did

any rear from a v8 car will be posi.

if it's only two miles away go check it out and spin it like ramair said. you'll be able to tell if it's a 3.42 vs a 3.23

maybe you'll get lucky and it wont be the original rear end! my a4 has 3.42's!! lol



edit: should've refreshed after i got back to my comp. you guys are too fast! lol

I've got my stock rear out of my '97 Z28 I'm selling for $200. It is a 3.42 posi unit, 79K miles, great shape. No whines or groans. Complete...install and fill and drive.
Was a 4-channel rear, but has 3 channel backing plates = no abs. Which isn't a problem for you anyway.
I'll be in Chicago for the auto show in a couple weeks. If you were interested, we could meet somewhere so you wouldn't have to drive too far.
