I don't know how to test it. Does your speedo work? I believe the older systems had a little short speedo cable hooked up near the firewall. This added in short piece has a sensor in it. I pulled one out of a 79 cougar, and tested it with my meter. With an old analog meter, you can twirl the cable and watch the needle wiggle back and forth. I can't remember if I was on an AC scale or a DC scale though.
