1962 Evinrude 18hp magneto. Will a QD magneto swap?

[smeltjr]

I picked up an Evinrude 18hp. 95 pounds even compression. Has original coils and cracked up. Now, I own 3 QD-20/21 10hp motors. I rebuilt the entire magneto that is not in use at all. Are these swappable between QD and FD motors? I know coil and points are but will the whole plate just swap and bolt on? Pls let me know. I do not have any part lists handy to cross ref. Thanks.

Fairly sure those QD plates have the groove around the OD. If they do, they will swap. However, the stuff bolted to the bottom (wires, cam, etc) probably are different. Calls for a look-see.

I'm pretty sure they will swap.
