Suggest you find one with a big hole drilled through the primary weight and swap it on to your existing governor . Reuse the secondary weights and springs you already have but swap on a pair of the lighter primary weights . See what the effect is to that change is . Some trans shops have used governors you may be able to purchase cheap , and maybe even the pins . We had many , many different governor weights designed , both primary and secondary . Good luck ! BTW when you adjusted the modulator , did you see any effect ?

I took it out for a test drive after running the screw in a little further.no change , at least nothing noticeable . I'll spend time with the governor as you suggest , however I don't want to change the way it acts under full throttle , now. I can see this is going to require a fair amount of trial and error.........in other words a PITA. But , I'll do it none the less.
Perhaps I should just consider a 4L80E and be done with it.
