reverse manual and the governor

okay, just got my PA Reverse Manual in. Friend of mine got one and it was cut out of a chunk of alluminum, but his was a custom order with engine braking in 2nd and 3rd.

Mine is the standard unit, with engine braking in 1st only (and to my surprise, was *not* cut out of a chunk of alluminum, but was a modified original valve body). I called them up to see if I could just pull the governor and lines out during the install (since that is what I did on my friends cuz the passageways were never cut in the alluminum base). They say that I need to take it apart and put the governor back in.....

This is puzzling me. Should I just tap and plug the governor feed lines in the case, like I've heard others say. Anyone know enough about these to tell why anyone would need to leave the governor on for proper functionality?

Thanks!
Justin

never mind stupid me. I looked through the archives, found that some stated the governor feeds were blocked at the separator plate. This may be the case for me, the valve body didn't seem to have many outputs for the case when I was looking at it. I will closely inspect it, and if the governor lines are not going through the separator plate then I don't care.

This is probably the case, since the person was talking about a PA Supercomp C4, and stated it had no governor. The valve body I have is the same one that comes on the Supercomp (you can order it without the T-Brake).

So this is probably the case, and whoever told me this at PA just didn't want me to mess with anything....

someone at PA didn't know what they were talking about. Governor lines are blocked at the sep plate. I'm puttin it in as it is!
