Default Cig locker and diff ratio?

Hi Guys what diff ratio would a stock 2000 au2 auto sedan be and can the diff be locked like the old ones with a welder (race car) or do you need to buy the mini spool.

Cheers

If its a standard six chances are its a single spinner 3.23 however if you like to double check get your head under the rear and look on the axle on the drivers side you should find a white sticker with the ratio on it and if there's no tag on the diff refill bolt it's probably single spinner

Forte/Futura had a 3.08 single spinner. Fairmont had the 3.23 to maintain similar performace to the lighter base models.
