If its stock its not a limited slip. I don't think it was offered at all for 1980. If
its not you can take pics and post them and maybe someone can id it for you.

jack up the rear end with both tires off the ground. turn one rear tire by hand and look at the other one as it turns. if they turn in opposite directions, it's NOT lsd.
