So what happens IF....gov arm question

I have a custom ground #100 plate installed and it is full forward as well as the AFC housing. My question is, what will be the effect of the governor arm is not rididng properly and goes under the torque plate? The truck runs great and pulls hard....so I am not sure I have that problem, but without checking I just don't know. Thanks

To check it pull your AFC and lift up on the fuel shutoff solenoid and roll the throttle forward you will see where it hits the plate. You should know if its getting hung up because it will bog down for a few secs. then take off like a bat out of hell.

Well...I knew it would probably not be a good thing if the arm was going under my plate, but after seeing those pictures I will bet you can guess what I am doing this weekend!!
