I have a new governor from Vans (but not a Vans supplied engine). The model is MT P-860-3. The spec sheet says it is for a Lyc IO 360 but I thought I got it for the IO 540...is the governor OK for either engine?

Bob that's what they sent me for my IO 540. I just rotated the control arm on mine for proper alignment with the prop cable. If you're interested, search "MT P-860-3 Governor rotation" on VAF.

Nice to see that nothing has changed at Van's. They only sell the governor with the gear ratio for the narrow deck engine, because that is what 410RV was built with. Of course all the engines they sell are new wide deck which is supposed to have a different gear ratio. MT P-860-5 if I recall correctly is the correct one and only needs some repositioning of the arm, depending on whether you run the cable below or above the cylinders.

As Kelly says the P-860-3 fits the narrow deck engine, which is what mine is

Well, I bought the Hartzel governor directly from Vans, and it works fine.

Well, the question was concerning the MT P-860-3.
I don't know how Hartzell deals with the differing gear ratio (gears)
inside the Lycoming narrow deck vs wide deck. Until about 3-4 years ago
Vans only offered the MT P-860-3.

I have flown with my -3 for three years. It is perfect.
The -3 or -5 refers to splined control arm position and max rpm adjustment. Both can be adjusted. Contact MT if you must. I already did 3 1/2 yrs ago. 1-386-736-7762.
