Re: 1993 Topkick: convert tbi/governor?

I think it's a hard part failure, unfortunately? The cable moves freely, as does the linkage within the governor part, but apparently the solenoid on the side engages/disengages something within the tbi housing itself...I tried jumping wires, tried figuring out a way to bypass it (the governor is built into the tbi housing itself), and even kicked around throwing a carb on it...but I'd really like to just find a non-governed tbi that would be a bolt on? The guys @ the feed store (who also run TopKicks/Kodiaks) told me they're out there, and it used to be common, but that's now 15+ year old technology.
