well yours SHOULD have one, but it may not. Lay underneath and look at the differential tag
my 97 says this
3 L 27
that's a 3.27 gear and the L is for limited slip
if only one of your tires spins either you don't have a limited slip or it's worn out
my buddy uses an eaton posi on his 72 nova and it's beautiful, I dunno what it would do to on one of our cars

you don't absolutely need a new one but it sounds like the one you have now is toast. I wouldn't waste money re-building it, get a better unit like one of those mentioned earlier

If you are getting a better unit, such as Eaton, which is completely rebuildable, you might as well upgrade to 31-spline axles as well... I don't see the justice in spending the money on a posi if you are not upgrading the axles.

Keep in mind that some like the eaton and auburn are actually limited slip. A true locker will have a ratcheting type design like Detroit, or a spool. The eaton and Auburn will do what you need though.
