Governors are a common sight on cars, but putting one on can be a challenge. Here are four tips for installing a governor:

  1. Choose the right type of governor. There are two main types of governors: mechanical and electronic. Mechanical governors work by adjusting the throttle position to control engine speed. Electronic governors use sensors to measure engine speed and adjust the throttle accordingly.
  2. Measure your car’s horsepower and torque. You’ll need this information to choose the right governor for your car. A mechanical governor will work best with engines that produce between 500 and 1,500 horsepower (or torque). An electronic governor is better suited for engines that produce between 1,500 and 3,000 horsepower (or torque).
  3. Remove your car’s air filter and intake manifold cover. These parts will obstruct the governor’s view of engine speed sensors.
  4. Install the governor by following the manufacturer’s instructions or using a guide like this one from GMAC PartsDirect . Be sure to tighten all bolts securely before driving your car! ..
