  Looks like you have a choice! Skip Haney rebuilt my coil and distributor. The work was completed on time and was well done.

  There are many sources for rebuilding the distributor. In most cases the 37-41 distributor only needs new points. These can be installed by C&G, Yesteryear Ford Parts and many other suppliers. Skip does a good job and is reasonable.

Jake Fleming does a complete rebuild and he is located in TX. 115 N. Cliffdale, Dallas, TX 75211

  The choice of a rebuilder with a Sun or Heyer machine is important. It gives us a strobe test that will show whether the points are bouncing at high speed, a constant problem with many of today's point sets, and whether the bushings and shaft are worn enough to cause the dwell to vary, interferring with the timimg by changing the point gap. A stationary fixture can't do that. If you are just going to replace the points, that is a DIY job.
