We took wire cutters to the whole truck tip to tail and started over with new wire and the factory diagrams. Only modification was I dropped the coil resistor on the firewall and swapped in a Bosch coil w an internal resistor.
Never had a governor on my 56, but the PO had a carb from a smaller car that the 270 did *not* like. Idled great, just don't expect to get anywhere fast. Well too fast, it tops out at 60 with a good tail wind.
1956 GMC 370 dump " 'Tater "1970 VW Volksrod "the Black Bomber" 2007 Chevy Avalanche 2020 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, 2005 Harley Davidson FLHTCUI I dig all cars, old and new, whether they were hammered out of American iron, German steel, or Japanese tin cans. Being unable to appreciate them all is missing out on a world of great things.
But thats just MY opinion! :P
