Two governors used in 10 years. The regular governor and the special governor used on 140 HP Powerglides. These special governors have orange or purple paint on the bells and the gear. Even here in the rusty east, the paint on the gear is visible. 

No governor change for axle ratio.

I am putting the pg that was formerly matched to the 3:27 diff, with the 3:55 diff.  Is the governor matched to the diff's gear ratio?  So, my question is this: when reassembling, which governor should I use and why?
