The problem still being that I can't actually set it anywhere because I don't have a contact/laser tach either to set the governer
The RPM limiter is fixed by the factory, no adjustment is possible since it's a sealed unit. The rear end governor is adjustable if you know what you are doing but you will need at the very least a mechanical or digital tach to determine where the governor should be set. Catch 22. You can get an Equus tach for around $30 but it will still require a driver to send the correct signal unless you opt for the impulse spark plug wire version as posted earlier. Nothing wrong with that, folks say they work just fine. I just prefer something a little more subtle than a station clock sized instrument dominating my dashboard.
Check this out however, neat install;
