Re: rear diff
I would need to know the vin to tell for sure but I would bet on a 28 spline 7.625 (which they call a 7.5). 89 is the year they switched from 26 spline to 28 spline axles.

Re: rear diff
Do you leave dual tracks when you take off?. I would think that the 5.7 would have to come with a posi but I am not positive. Thats easy enough to figure out though. Either Power brake it and see if both spin or jack it up and put it in neutral and a healthy posi unit will cause the other wheel to spin when you spin one.

yea, I just didn't want to have to resort to that...plus the engine is still out of the car as I am rebuilding it and was just curious. Thanks for the spline info. though.
