Altair Triumph Twin 18D2 Distributor 6 Volt Ignition System

Is your current ignition not letting your bike reach its full potential?

Need an advance curve that better suits your engine?

Does your bike not want to fully rev out due to poor spark energy?

Is your battery not lasting a full race meeting?

The PAZON Altair ignition system is the hassle-free solution to your ignition worries.

Fits these classic motorcycles:

TRIUMPH 350 & 500 Unit Twin Cylinder Motorcycles with
6 Volt electrics (positive or negative ground)
and  Lucas 18D2 type distributor, including:

T21, 3TA, 5TA, T100SS, T100A, T100SC & TR100SR from 1957-1962.
Triumph 6T from 1960-1962.

May also suit other twin cylinder motorcycles, with Lucas 18D2 distributor and 6 volt electrics (BSA / Norton / AJS / Matchless / Royal Enfield).

Completely replaces the original points, coil, condenser & mechanical advance.
Also eliminates the rotor arm and the original plug (h.t.) leads.
If an original appearance is required, the original h.t. leads can be left attached to the distributor cap, but they will no longer be connected to the ignition coil or spark plugs.

• High power dual output 6 volt ignition coil, leads and plug caps included.
• Wasted spark system, for simplicity of wiring and timing.
• Static timing led on trigger board, for quick & easy ignition timing.

Once fitted, the result is improved performance, excellent starting, smoother running and low maintenance.

Important notes:
Before fitting this ignition system, it is essential that the distributor is in good condition.
Specifically, the shaft/bearings should not show signs of excessive wear (obvious signs of side-play or end-float). Side-play in particular may result in uneven/wandering ignition timing and/or running on one cylinder. This ignition system will not overcome serious mechanical wear in the distributor.

7½ year warranty

Is your engine power limited by your current ignition advance curve?

The Altair ignition incorporates a mapped advance curve that precisely controls the ignition timing throughout the rev range, featuring idle stabilisation.

Have you found setting the timing on your current ignition system a bit 'hit and miss'?

Timing made easy, with the on-board static timing light.

Is your existing ignition system battery-thirsty?

The Altair features active dwell control that maintains the right energy in the ignition coils for optimum performance, whatever the engine rpm.
The intelligent software also means that Altair is highly efficient, drawing little power, extending battery life considerably.

High spark energy and lower power draw, even at low battery voltages.
