The governor (along with the throttle valve) determines the shift points.
It has nothing to do with the electronic top speed limiters found on late

It is somehow connected to the hydraulic circuit of the transmission. I
can't tell you how exactly, don't have my Chilton transmission manual at

What 44 chassis model year are we talking about? I checked the family album
regarding 1987 models and it appears that all 5cyl gas models use the same
governor p/n 087 325 041B.
