i dont know of a volt meter test to check just switch box ive set up a test motor with indexed fly wheel to check for double fireing and the bias(its gotta be running) but after you put on a couple thousand of them you know when its good and double fire occurs now and again but not real often

0D006834.... first 2.5 200.. one other thing ya need ta watch for is parts for it.. most sites will list your motor as "1991 200 only".... its all by itself!.....

like bobby is sayin': a switch box is a switch box is a switch box when it comes ta "production" motors..
7778A1 thru A14, you'll never notice any difference... think all have been superseded to at least A12...
