Hook up an AC adapter across the primary windings, hook a load across a secondary tap.
Say you have 24VAC across the primary and measure 1VAC across the secondary into an 8 ohm load. Your voltage ratio is 24:1.
Impedance translates as the square of the voltage ratio, so the impedance is (24 x 24) to 1, or 576:1.
Now if you connect an 8 ohm speaker to the secondary, you multiply both sides of that ratio by 8, so you have a 4,600 ohm to 8 ohm transformer. Hook up a 16 ohm speaker to that tap and you have a 9K primary, etc.. Of course you don't really have to go through all the math, you can just hook up the AC adapter, do not forget to hook a load onto the secondary, and see which taps produce higher or lower voltage ratios and assume they are higher and/or lower impedance taps.
