Aldon Automotive Performance Distributors - BMC A Series 100AY With Ignitor Electronic ignition

The Aldon Automotive Performance Distributors offer a solution for car enthusiasts who have tuned their engines with different camshaft profiles and often twin sidedraught carburettors, as the standard distributor unit can no longer provide the correct ignition curve needed for optimal performance.

These distributors are based on new Lucas or Bosch units that have been dyno developed to ensure they offer the right ignition advance curve for different engine states of tune. Most versions come with an option for a mechanical advance system, suitable for engines using twin sidedraught carburettors.

These distributors not only improve power and drivability on tuned engines but also provide enhanced reliability and consistent ignition triggering due to the available Ignitor electronic ignition system. This system is designed to fit neatly inside the distributor cap, ensuring it does not detract from the classic look of the vehicle while providing better performance and driveability.

The Aldon Performance Distributors are suitable for various makes and models, including:

• BMC 'A' Series 100AY - A non-vacuum distributor suitable for most tuned engines with camshafts such as Piper 270/285, Kent 266/276 and 100AY.
• BMC 'A' Series 100AV - Identical to the 100AY but with a vacuum advance option (as a general rule, engines with compression ratios over 10:1 use 100AY).
• BMC 'A' Series 100AYS - A distributor with side draught H.T. leads and identified for Sprite/Midget applications.
• BMC 'A' Series 100AYSV - Identical to the 100AV but with a vacuum advance option and side draught H.T. leads.
• BMC 'A' Series 100AYP - A distributor that uses the same advance characteristics as the 100AY but with the later type drive dog, suitable for 'A' plus blocks in the metro.
• BMC 'A' Series 100AR - A non-vacuum distributor designed for rally and race tuned engines with camshafts such as 649, sprint or supersprint types.
• BMC 'A' Series 100ARS - Identical to the 100AR but fitted with a distributor cap which has side draught H.T. leads.
• BMC 'B' Series 101BY1 - A distributor with vacuum advance designed for standard MGBs and Marina TCs with HS4 SU carburettors.
• BMC 'B' Series 101BY2 - A distributor with vacuum advance suitable for standard MGBs and Marina TCs with HIF4 SU carburettors.
• BMC 'B' Series 101BR1 - A non-vacuum distributor designed for tuned 'B' series engines using camshafts such as 714, 715, Piper 270 and fitted with a side draught carburettor.
• BMC 'B' Series 101BR1S - Identical to the 101BR1 but with side draught H.T. leads.
• BMC 'B' Series 101BR2 - A vacuum advance distributor suitable for road tuned 'B' series engines using camshafts such as 714, 864, Piper 270 and retaining SU carburettors.
• Ford X/Flow and twin cam (all Lucas based) 103FX1 - A non-vacuum distributor for X/Flow engines with side draught carburettors that retain the standard 'GT' camshaft.
• Ford X/Flow and twin cam (all Lucas based) 103FX1S - Identical to the 103FX1 but with a distributor cap which has side draught H.T. leads.
• Ford X/Flow and twin cam (all Lucas based) 103FXY - A non-vacuum distributor suitable for tuned X/Flow engines using camshafts such as A2, BCF1, Piper 270, 285, Kent 234, 244 and side draught carburettors (a vacuum unit must not be used in this case).
• Ford X/Flow and twin cam (all Lucas based) 103FXYS - Identical to the 103FXY but with a distributor cap which has side draught H.T. leads.
• Ford X/Flow and twin cam (all Lucas based) 103FXYSI - A version of the 103FXY fitted with Aldon Ignitor electronic ignition instead of points.
• Ford X/Flow and twin cam (all Lucas based) 103FXR - A distributor for race specification X/Flow engines, full details of which are required.
• Ford X/Flow and twin cam (all Lucas based) 103FXRS - Identical to the 103FXR but with a distributor cap which has side draught H.T. leads.
• Ford 'A' Series 103TC - A non-vacuum distributor suitable for most twin cam engines, from standard to virtually full race.

The Aldon Automotive Performance Distributors offer an improvement in performance and drivability on tuned engines by providing the correct ignition curve needed for optimal engine operation, regardless of the type of carburettors used. The option to include mechanical advance or electronic ignition also adds further flexibility and reliability. For more information and specific applications, please Contact us directly.
