KR Wilson distributor fixture V-126
 

Scored one this morning and my wallet never left my pocket
Long story short, filling up the 32 pickup and got talking to a gentleman who was knowledgeable on flatheads. Told me he had a fixture for setting the distributor dwell and asked if I wanted it. Cleaned it up and will put it to work shortly.

Proverbial “ right place at the right time “

Appears it has the adapter on top for the later distributor also.

I have one just like it with the adapter,nice tool to go along with sun machine…

I was fortunate to find one too, with instruction sheet. I enjoy setting up my distributors knowing that they are properly adjusted with this tool. Love it!

So I must be missing something. I put a crab style distributor in it but it doesn’t seem to go down far enough to meet the, for lack of a better description, the wheel that turns on the fixture.

The 2-hole ring on top is an adapter to the 3-hole timing tool. It requires another adapter to extend the 2-hole shaft to the bottom of the tool. It looks like this. You can go to a similar fixture for sale last year on H.A.M.B. and see the adapter in the kit. The picture is from Speedway motors catalog. I don't know if would work on the KR Wilson tool or not.

I have one but never use it - I have a 'Bear" Gauge which is easier to use and allows you to set up both the left and right points with much more accuracy than the KRW unit

Picture, please...

Re: KR Wilson distributor fixture V-126
 

Looking at that KR fixture someone has added two spacer plates ,that should take the crab then you remove them to do the Diver unit ,

Re: KR Wilson distributor fixture V-126
 

That looks like what I am missing

Re: KR Wilson distributor fixture V-126
 

There is only one plate which is the adapter for the crab. Problem is, the crab doesn’t sit low enough to engage the degree wheel. As someone else mentioned, I am missing a piece to make up the difference
