Re: Governor without throttle plate.
It means the governor will not be effective, the engine can be reved faster, maybe even beyond the safe limits for that engine.
I suspect that the governor settings of WW2 US trucks were set artificially low, therefore, a truck with governor disabled could still be operated at somewhat higher revs by a careful driver without problems.
But, I have heard that on some engines, even a few hundred RPM over recommended has dramatically reduced engine life.
My 2 cents.

I run mine w/o the gov plate. 60,000 on one with no problems.
What you need to do is listen to the engine and spedo for a bit till you can tell the rpms by the sound. It is not hard.
The data plate will tell you the max speed in any gear, use that sound.
