An alternative would be to call it a tappet wrench. It is a thin wrench to fit the hex on the overdrive governor. I would think maybe a modern fan clutch wrench might have a size that would fit. I'm not sure of the size...maybe 1 1/2 "?Bez Auto Alchemy

A pipe wrench will work fine to loosen it. Once loose it should turn easily by hand.American iron, real old school
With two tone paint, it sure is cool
Its got 8 cylinders and uses them all
With an overdrive that just won't stall
With a 4 barrel carb and dual exhausts
With 4.23 gears it can really get lost
Its got safety belts and I ain't scared
The brakes are good and the tires are fair.

Concur with Channellocks or pipe wrench. Governor is rarely so tight it cannot be moved by those without exerting enough force to distort the governor case.Gord Richmond, within Weasel range of the Alberta BadlandsComment

You can also use a strap wrench. I've used an oil filter wrench with a small block of wood to take up the slack.Comment

I have a set of pump wrenches. Mine were used for hydraulic lines in tight places, but they are just a short, thin wrench for servicing pumps. www.mcmaster.com/pump-wrenches/Comment

I used a bicycle headset wrench, but I forget the size.

Thank you all,when I remove it is there any way to test it, the book says to just replace.Comment

After a careful degreasing/wiping, remove the gear by removing the tiny circlip or hairpin - put the body of the governor in a vise so the shaft can be driven by a power drill. CW, or CCW - can’t remember.Originally posted by jetboat View Post
Connect one test lead to the single terminal on the cap of the unit, and connect both leads to an ohmmeter. Take the free end of the other lead and ground it to one of the 3 cap screws.
It will show infinite resistance at rest and then at some point when driven it will go to or near zero ohms indicating that the governor has closed.
Thats it.

The normal failure mode is for the governor to fill up with oil and then the oil burns and fouls the points. If you clean the inside of the unit and burnish the points, you should be OK.RadioRoy, specializing in AM/FM conversions with auxiliary inputs for iPod/satellite/CD player.
