1) Governor Center hole is drilled a bit off at the factory (seen that a couple of times).
2) Some meat fisted remanufacturer or previous owner has bent the plate that the weights attach to, or the shaft spindle that the governor attaches to...it doesn't take much. When I recurve one, before checking bushing and shaft tolerances I chuck the shaft up into a drill and spin it and look for any "wobble"...if there is, it becomes a candidate for a core for cardone...and I get another one from my core pile....
I have had everything apart, measured and cleaned, no damages, all clearances are well within factory specs. I also got an extra new setup of plates, plus I have some for a V8 distributor (same parts, same sizes). If I could pinpoint it to one set of parts, OK, then we have a faulty set. Trouble is, they are all just fitting perfectly, they just don't fit!! If you take a look at the lower photo, you can see that the arm from the pod is stretching in nice and parallel to the lower plate, everything falls nice into place, it looks absolutely perfect, except the %&¤#% arm is too long! :shrug:
USAJon, very tempting!
