.

Aldon have been successfully modifying distributors for many years. They are now probably the only people in the UK, if not the world who specialise in this type of work. Aldon have customers throughout Europe, Asia, Australia and America. Aldon have been an O.K. supplier of X/Flow distributors to Caterham Cars for many years.

The units that are supplied / modified are based on Lucas and Bosch distributors. Specials and one-offs are catered for and many obsolete units can be rebuilt and modified.

Distributors can be supplied brand new with a modified advance curve to suit the engine specification. Another option is for the customers own unit to be sent to Aldon for them to modify the advance curve in that. All distributors can be supplied with electronic ignition.

Aldon's range caters for 'A' series, 'B' series, Ford X/Flow, Ford Twin cam, Ford OHC (pinto), Ford V6 (Essex) engines. The modification of the advance curve is dependent on;

1. What carburettor(s) is being used ?
2. Which camshafts are fitted ?
3. Compression ration of the engine ?
4. What the car will be used for ?

 
'A' SERIES APPLICATIONS
100AY A non-vacuum distributor, to suit most tuned engines, using camshafts such as Piper 270/285, Kent 266/276 and 286.
100AYV A distributor with the same characteristics as the 100AY but fitted with a vacuum advance. (As a general rule comp. ratios over 10:1 use 100AY).
100AYS Identical to the 100AY but fitted with a distributor cap which has the H.T. leads coming out of the side instead of the top. Necessary for Sprite/ Midget applications.
100AYSV Identical to the 100AYV but fitted with a distributor cap which has the
H.T. leads coming out of the side instead of the top.
100AYP Uses the same advance characteristics as 100AY but has the later type drive dog to suit 'A' plus blocks in the metro.
100AR A non-vacuum distributor, to suit rally and race tuned engines, running on 649, sprint or supersprint type camshafts. Also available for Piper 300/320 or Kent 296/310 type camshafts.
100ARS Identical to the 100AR but fitted with a distributor cap which has the
H.T. leads coming out of the side instead of the top.
100ARP Uses the same advance characteristics as 100AR but has the later type drive dog to suit 'A' plus blocks in the metro.
 

'B' SERIES APPLICATIONS
101BY1 A distributor with vacuum advance, designed to replace the original
distributor on std. MGB's and Marina TC's, fitted with HS4 SU Carburettors. N.B. Later versions of these cars have the vacuum advance pipe connected to the inlet manifold not the carburettor, use 101BY2 for these applications.
101BY1S Identical to the 101BY1 but fitted with a distributor cap which has the
H.T. leads coming out of the side instead of the top. Necessary for a few pre-rubber MGB's, where H.T.leads may foul on the steering column.
101BY2 A distributor with vacuum advance to suit std. MGB's and Marina TC's
when fitted with HIF4 SU carburettors. Improves driveability, while retaining the resistance to 'run-on'.
101BY2S Identical to the 101BY2 but fitted with a distributor cap which has the
H.T. leads coming out of the side instead of the top.
101BR1 A non-vacuum distributor to suit tuned 'B' series using camshafts such as 714,715, Piper 270,285 and fitted with a side draught carburettor.
101BR1S Identical to the 101BR1 but fitted with a distributor cap which has the H.T. leads coming out of the side instead of the top.
101BR2 A vacuum advance distributor to suit road tuned 'B' series, using 714, 864, Piper 270,285 camshafts but retaining the SU carburettors.
 

FORD X/FLOW AND TWIN CAM (ALL LUCAS BASED
103FX1 A non-vacuum distributor, to suit X/Flow engines, fitted with side draught carburettors but which retain the standard 'GT' camshaft.
103FXY A non-vacuum distributor, which suits most tuned X/Flow engines using
camshafts such as A2, BCF1, Piper 270,285, Kent 234,244 in conjunction with side draught carburettors. N.B. A vacuum unit must not be used when an engine is fitted with side draught carburettors.
103FXYV On some X/Flow engines with a twin choke down draught carburettor it may be possible to have a vacuum fitted.
103FXYS Identical to the 100FXY but fitted with a distributor cap which has the H.T. leads coming out of the side instead of the top. This is normally necessary when a pair of side draught carburettors are fitted to 1100 and 1300 engines. However we cannot guarantee fitment if the block has be skimmed to a great extent.
103FXR A distributor for race specification X/Flow's. Full details of the engine specification are required.
103FXRS Identical to the 100FXR but fitted with a distributor cap which has the H.T. leads coming out of the side instead of the top.
103TC A non-vacuum distributor which suits most twin cam engines from standard to virtually full race.
 

FORD OHC (PINTO) ALL BOSCH UNITS
104FPY A non-vacuum distributor to suit engines fitted with side draught carburettors but retaining the standard camshaft.
104FPR1 A non-vacuum distributor to suit engines fitted with side draught carburettors and fitted with a modified camshaft such as piper 270, 285, Kent RL1, RL2, Burton 32, 33 or 40, 41 etc.
104FPR2 A distributor with vacuum advance to suit engines fitted with twin choke
down draught carburettors together with a modified camshaft.
 
FORD V6 (ESSEX TYPE)
105FV1 A non-vacuum distributor to suit most tuned V6 engines fitted with a modified camshaft such as Piper 270, 285, Kent V62/ V65.
105FV2 A vacuum version of the 105FV1 distributor which is more suitable when using a Holley carburettor or whenever the standard carburettor is used together with the standard or mild camshaft.
N.B. In both the 105FV1 and 105FV2 supply difficulties can result in the unit being either Motorcraft or Bosch. You may need to specify a Motorcraft unit for clearance if using a Holley carburettor.
 
CHRYSLER/ TALBOT
109TY A non-vacuum distributor to suit 1600 engines using side draught carburettor(s) with a Ti or Group 1 camshaft. Also available for Piper 270, 285, Kent AVFR2-AVFR3.
 
TRIUMPH ENGINES
106TY1 A non-vacuum distributor to suit tuned 1300/ 1500 engines fitted with side draught carburettor(s) and a modified Piper 270, 285, Kent TH3, TH5 camshaft.If S.U. carburettors are used with a fairly mild camshaft than it may be preferable to use the 106TY2 distributor
106TY2 A vacuum advance version of the 106TY1 distributor for use with S.U.
carburettors and fairly mild camshafts. N.B. As these engines are prone to detornation when the compression ratio is raised, it may be found necessary to revert to 106TY1.

The Aldon 'Ignitor' has been proven successfully over many years. It is the ideal choice for the race enthusiast, general road user or classic restorer. It fits entirely under the distributor cap for a neat, clean look and costs up to 40% less than other makes.

Facts about the 'Ignitor'

Operating voltage: 6v to 16v DC
Temperature range: 50 Deg.F. to 300 Deg.F.
RPM range: Full operating range of engine down to zero RPM

With the ignitor there are 30,000 to 35,000 volts available. Normal range on (OK) standard systems range from 26,000 to 27,000 volts. The 'ignitor' can be converted to a high energy system by the installation of a high energy coil and silicon HT leads. The Aldon 'Flame Thrower' coil or Lucas sports coil have both proven to be very compatible with the ignitors.

Both negative and positive earth applications are catered for. All ignitor applications are determined by the distributor make and model. The ignitor is available for most Lucas, Bosch, Motorcraft and Delco 4, 6 and 8 cylinder distributors.

With the loss of four and five star petrol from Service Station forecourts, means that modern high compression engines must either use a lower compression ratio or less than optimum ignition advance.

It TURBO or SUPERCHARGED, the limitation of Lead Free and 'LRP' fuels lower octane rating means less boost can be used, resulting in less power output from the engine.

Aldon 'Petrol Octane Booster' was introduced several years ago to combat this problem and is now recognised as THE brand leader, with independent tests showing it to be the most effective octane improver currently available.

  • 'Aldon Octane Booster' is suitable for use with both lead free fuels and catalysts.
  • Reduces knock, pinking and run-on. Helps avoid holed pistons/ blown gaskets
  • Higher power - Better Acceleration
  • Safe in all fuel systems
  • Race & Rally proven and tested

N.B. To enable this product to produce the best effects some of the ingredients are highly toxic. This product CANNOT be sent through the post, it must be collected in person from Aldon or their recognised dist
