Default how do i find out if my stang is posi

I have a 3 73 gear but i have no idea whether it is POSI or not. Couple nights ago i did a 1-2nd gear burnout maybe 100 ft long and there were 2 tire marks...is that a good qualification?

Jack up the rear end and spin a tire with your hand. If the tires spin in opposite directions, you have an open diff (one tire fire)
