I don't claim to understand how the whole AT system works, but I 
suspect that there's a range over which the governor works. It's 
likely that most governors fall somewhere in the middle of this 
range. (Think of a normal bell curve distribution.)

If you happen to find a couple of ATs that are both somewhere near 
the middle of this distribution, which is likely, then everything 
should be fine. But there's always the possibility that you'll get 2 
that are at opposite ends of the distribution, and that's likely to 
be less fine. I have no idea how that "less fine" might seem.

If possible, I would transfer the weight, piston, and spring (items 
4, 10, & 11 in the Bentley) from the old governor to the new one. I 
think the balance weight should stay with the governor body that it 
came with.
