Question For Rich

(1/2) > >>

Scoobum:
How hard is it to pull the governor? Thinking of trying a stocker. I'm convinced this engine would pull harder in 3rd if the revs were more in line with this cam on the 2-3 shift. The flip side is I've read several replies from Dusty to get the convertor to couple better...shift 2nd gear later...which mine does.

larrym:
Govener  is easy had mine in an out 1/2 a dozen times tuning my shift points.

Scoobum:
Thanks Larry. :)

TexasT:
A Larry states, not hard but can be messy. I used a big black plastic catch pan that is intended to mix mortar. Ir came from the home center. Too hard to catch the fluid in a little pan.



The gov is in the banjo looking part towards the bottom of the pic(rear of trans). You might need a new gasket if yours gets torn or becomes unuseable. You might consider "pinning" the governor spring while you have it apart.

I try to catch the trans fluid then we strain it into the gallon jug and pour it back in as long as it looks/smells all right.

gusszgs:
As Rich and Larry said the gov is an easy removal. 4 10mm bolts If you have a deep pan  with a plug your laughing. I usually will pull the plug the night before to let it drain good.
If you need a nylon screw to pin the governor I have a bad of 49 left, so I can spare ya one  :)  They're not easy to locate in the great white north. But is anything for these cars here
