Re: 700r4 questions
First, you can't remove the governor. You can swap governors, so start with that. Next, the 1-2 accumulator spring is probably broken. That creates a horrible 1-2 upshift no matter how you drive it. But to check that, you'll probably tear the gasket. Likewise for swapping VBs, and if you do that, you'll probably find both separator plates have been damaged by the check *****. Either try the Caprice version with just the governor swap ( and the speedometer gears while you're swapping tailhousings for the torque-arm mount ) Or buy a shift kit that includes gaskets and instructions, plus buy a new separator plate, and swap VBs.

Re: 700r4 questions
Alright, I feel really stupid for asking this question, but what is the small wire/tube on the center/top of the transmission. Right above the casting line in this picture:
