how to tell if my m 37 has a governor

[lanedajr]

I have a 1963 Dodge M-37 with the original flat head 6 in it. How can I tell if it has a governor on it? I was looking at parts and noticed a Governor for sale which made me wonder if mine had one or not. Thanks, Don

Your second link does not work.

Original engines were Dodge (model) T245 engines. If yours is an original, it will have "T245" on the left front side of the head.

Unless it has been modified, it will also have a governor on it.

Lifer the T245 and serial number will be stamped into a pad cast into the left front of the block just below the head gasket, not on the head its self.

DUH!! Why don't I ever proofread before clicking "submit reply?" Thanks, Carter!

Lane, I moved your thread over the correct forum. You had it in the Forum tips and tricks forum, not the M37 forum.

Clinto, Thanks for moving it to the correct location for me.

Carter, Lifer and Frodobaggins, Thanks for the info I'll check it out tonight. My lil m-37 will only go 45 to 50 going down hill. Still a fun ride though.
