Correct prop governor for YIO-390EXP340 Engine

Working on a 390 install in a RV8. Anyone know the correct prop governor to work on this engine? Needs to be underthrow mount.

Thanks
 
You'll need to make sure to match the governor drive ratio and direction to that of the engine, for the front crankcase mount it is probably 0.895:1 and CW; effectively similar to a certified IO-390-()()B6. The rear mount location on the accessory case is typically 0.866:1 and CW; effectively similar to the certified IO-390-()()A()6. Not sure what configuration you have here, EXP340 is a Lycoming internal definition.

Not sure exactly what you mean by underthrow mount, do you mean you want the cable coming up from below with the cable basically vertical?
