<VV> Group Red - no upshift

[aircooled6 at prodigy.net]

When I first got my 67 4dr, it did this trick.  I thought OH Crap! I have to
tear it apart and do the e-clip.  When I crawled under the car to start the
project, I noticed that the governor was askew (sounds like texas). Further
exam showed the little tin retaining clip had separated from the governor,
so nothing was holding it in.  A replacement governor was installed and 40k
later its still fine!

That little clip is held on to the governor only by a small spot weld, Im
surprised that they dont fail more often.
