Hartzell squarish governors

Any VAFrs know if the end cap on a Hartzell angle valve prop governor like an F6 can be readily clocked differently?

From the shaft up to shaft aft config

If this is truly an F-6 governor, it's a feathering governor, and will work "opposite" from a governor that is normally installed on a single engine aircraft. It might work with the prop you have, but this governor is "pressure to low pitch" and most governors on single engine aircraft are "pressure to high pitch."
