If you are referring to the second pic right below where it says
"Notice that this one is shimmed and has one spring removed. The spring assembly would normally look something like this next one with the main, intermediate, and idle springs. "
then all you need to do is look at yours before you do anything to it. It was a stock pic as in in nothing had been done to the gov yet.

Hope your doing lots of reading, the general opinion now is to not remove the intermediate spring at all as is causes driveability issues.

Since it is mentioned in another place on the governor mod  and not here, I thought I'd add that removing the intermediate spring can cause driveability problems. It is better to just shim the main spring and leave the intermediate alone. I can't find the post that talked about this, so it may have been deleted, so I wanted to repost it so people will know. Removing and shimming the intermediate spring makes it harder to keep the engine at a certain RPM when at lower RPM's. I have this problem with my vehicle since shimming the intermediate spring. Acceleration was much better however. Also, if you do decide to shim the intermediate spring, you may have to back out the residual fuel screw if your engine doesn't want to come back down to idle.
