For Jim K and others...
Recently we bought a 3.70 final drive and limited slip for our 77 Kingsley from Jim K. We ordered a governor gear as a spare as well. The governor gear came with a pin and finish nail. There is no hole in the governor gear. So, it appears we'll have to put a hole in it if we ever need to install it. In reading the forum and related info it looks like the hole is 1/8 inch.
On Jim K's website the picture of the governor gear shows two of them, one whitish and one black. The black one looks like it has a hole in it. The white one, no hole, and that's the one we received.
It sure would be nice to have some detailed instructions for installing the governor gear if that time should ever come. And there's a good chance that will occur while on the road somewhere and not at home or in a repair facility. BIG QUESTION - can the hole be pre-drilled ahead of time to make replacement a whole lot easier?
Maybe replacing the governor gear is a piece of cake. We have done a lot so far to our Kingsley. We try to do all we can ourselves. We can do a lot if we just can find out how to do it but we're not experts and therefore need instructions on most everything we do.
Anyone out there have good written instructions for replacing the governor gear that you can share. Greatly appreciated if you do.
Couldn't survive without this forum, thanks to all of you.
