McCauley governor model for '69 with a c6b?

The Woodward on the front just sheared itself to sprinkles so I'm trying to figure out where to go next. When I looked at the McCauley application guide (as a novice) I saw several governor numbers listed and didn't know where to go with that info.

Also wondering if it's worth it to find a used core for sale, and if it needs to be the same model, or if any Macaulay constant speed (or at least for any year of 337) would suffice as a core.

Thanks.

Thanks Frank.

So my IA ordered a brand new one today from McCauley (or whatever their approved distributor is) for $4300.

So where is everyone getting their replacement, McCauley governors from these days? I see QAA has them for 1350 + 1k core, but my IA was nervous about using an overhauled part.

QAA is fine. And I would look for a new IA. He just cost you an extra 2K
