the air compressor on my AM General (detroit 6v71) keeps making air until the safety blows off (135 lbs or so). It must be the govenor but where is it and is it easy to rebuild?
thanks in advance-stevebnut

Governor is usually bolted directly to the side of the compressor. It is a small casting about the size of a large salt shaker. New ones are about $13. It hardly pays to rebuild.

thanks a bunch. I went by my local truck parts place after locating and removing the governor.I bought a rebuilt bendix for 20. bucks. I am new at this bus stuff u know but my years of wrenching cars does help a bit.
