Pics of C6 higher speed shift governor

For the newbies like me, here are some pictures of the lighter higher speed shift C6 governor.
Our Lincoln always shifted at 4400RPM 1-2, 4200rpm, 2-3. From the chassis dyno the power peak is 4500 and best shift point is 500 above that.
This governor should make the trans shift at a higher RPM in drive. I hope at close to 5000rpm.

Nope! Hopfully tonight.
I just have to throw the drive shaft back in it and tires on it.
Busy weekend.... Ran out of time.

I only had a chance to do two full throttle 1-2 shifts.
Looks like the lighter governor shifts 2-300 RPM higher or at 47-4800rpm.
If I had a ton of ambition, I could pull it all back apart and try to lighten the valve a little more.
But I think that this is close enough!
