Connect a carbon variable resistor across the output of the balun.  Tune the
MFJ to a desired frequency and adjust the variable resistor for minimum SWR
on the MFJ.  Measure the resistance of the variable resistor and you have
the secondary impedance.

Not exact, but close enough for government work.

Anyone know how to tell the balun output using and MFJ 259 antenna analyzer.
I read how to do it somewhere but cant remember where or how.

Thanks and 73
