Axle spline question

I have a 1971 442 with original 3.24 non posi rear. My axles are 28 spline would my carrier be the same? It's a 10 bolt 8.5 corporate rear. I'm wanting to switch to a posi carrier and lower gear ratio something a long the lines of 4.11 and just want to be sure before I order they will work. Thanks guys .

Yes, the carrier will have 28 splines to accept the axle shafts.
