Eric, The engine number is stamped into the engine in the general area indicated in Bentley. The fact that you have the bottom mounted micro switch negates the need to know the engine number to get the correct switch. You have the later version dual purpose or combined switch. As far as I know there were only two versions of the '85 (US model) -- the two switch model and the combined switch. Ordering one from either Ken (vanagain.com) or Ron (busdepot.com) will save some money and (in my experience) increase your chances of getting the correct part.
