Ok. That is what I was wondering, but I read somewhere that the shaft was shorter on the crab, but I guess the parts are interchangeable, other than the shaft. I have seen a few threads about your views on the 11A internal providing more advance.
Interestingly enough, I revisited a vid on YT that I had viewed last year, and they had a Wasco timing fixture made in Essex, Ontario Canada. I grew up in London, Ontario which was about 2.5 hrs away. Also, the Sunnen honing machine my machinist used on my engine was made in Chatham, Ontario which was also just west of London.

You can reuse your breaker plate and all you need is the shaft and weight assembly from a 11A.. We stock them NOS if you can't find them elsewhere.

Michael you upgraded my 34 to the 11a set up and I love it.
Can you still use the KRW fixture to set the initial timing with this set up ?

The timing is the same with the 11A or the 68A internals you can use your KRW.
