727 Governor Question ?

[70wayfarer]

is the governor required when using a manual VB. after all, whats there to govern.

 

[69MOPE]

No, on mine I removed the gov and plugged the hole. You have to modify the retainer that the gov mounts to because it itself is weighted. I machined the weight off on a lathe.

Don't ask me about governors.

I live in Illinois and we've had 3 of our governors end up in jail.... :evil3:

 

[70wayfarer]

cheers 69MOPE. could not see any reason to retain it.

 

[zijmer]

it depends on the valve body or kit that you used. complete manual valve bodys dont have the govenor holes punched in the plate, while kits like transgo3 uses the oem plate.

and some kits block the gov transfers with balls staked in or cup-plugs.
