yeah carfax needs 17 digits. So older ones are not this long? IF a car has a salvage title it will say something on the title correct?

CarFax only works for '81 and newer cars (17 digit VIN). So will not work for the '80 and earlier cars (13 digit VIN).

As to the title stating if salvage or not, that would depend upon the state. Some do, some don't.
