I have been essentially without a home computer since August. I only check email once a week or so, so before my inbox overflows with questions, I wanted to put this out there:
The governor for sale here is not the same as the King-Seeley and Pierce mechanical engine governors used on the WDX-WM300 model Power-Wagons. The mounting location is completely different, I see no provisions to attach and be controlled by the factory under-dash Power-Wagon specific detent lever assembly, and the working geometry of the control arms and linkages are different.
It COULD POSSIBLY be made to work in conjunction with a Power-Wagon rear tailshaft and belt pulley drive, but it would require a lot of reengineering to do so. I have avoided monkeying with these types of governors in my experiments, so I have no additional advice to add.
It looks like Pete has a nice rare industrial accessory. Hopefully someone does not destroy it by trying to make it work for a purpose that it was never intended.
