Ben,
If the car is not running the only way to verify presence of an OD is to
stick your head under the car and look. Remember the fairly recent
adage, "....trust, but verify..." (The switch was present on all the
cars of that year and moves fore and aft, but without the OD unit behind
the tranny, all you have is a movable switch....)
