Farmall H governor timing...oops?

On my H I have not removed my crankshaft pulley or timing cover, however I did remove my governor for cleaning and painting purposes. I had thought (incorrectly?) that the governor is not actually "timed" to the engine.

Now I have read some other posts where the governor is timed via two dots on the camshaft gear. So my question is: is the governor in fact actually "timed" to the engine? Can someone please explain to me why the governor is timed to the engine since I don't really understand why.

One last question: can I reinstall the governor "in time" to the engine without removing the crankshaft pully and timing cover?

Thank you in advance for helping me out. I always search the old posts for information before asking a question which is why I am not a regular poster.
 
Thank you Ace, I was getting a little nervous...I know about the distributor, but I really didn't think the governor needed to be timed!
 
If we're thinking of the same one, that earlier post was to do with the 113/123 motors in the A-B-C series, where the governor and distributor are driven off the same gear. On those, that alignment is important, especially if they run on a magneto.
 
No, I really am talking about the governor and not the magneto. Yes, Scotty, I was referring to the other posts with different engines.

Sounds like an H engine does not have to be timed to the governor. Thanks All!!!
