Where can I find a good rebuild kit? We can buy a new one if needed. We have several CJ distributors and some 352/390 distributors. They're all probably worn though. Thought about rebuilding one, because my dad likes points. He ran a PerTronix kit once in the 90's and it failed while on a trip, so he isn't too keen on those. I think Brent Lykins mentioned a guy who does distributors. Does he have any contact info? Thanks for any help.

Faron Rhodes is the name most associated with distributor rebuilding and recurving here, but he doesn't seem to be very active here of late. He is located in PA, last known email is totalperfentofpa@aol.com

I would recommend Jim Woods. Very thorough, very detailed, great work.
He goes by rockhouse66 on here.

Thanks. I shot Jim a PM.
Man, when I was a kid my dad and uncle used to get rebuild kits all the time. They must have gotten harder to find in recent years.

Just for the info of those following the topic - Faron Rhodes is pretty active on Facebook and has commented that he’s still doing distributors. Also, Wes Adams in Oregon is on the page here and does distributor rebuilds & recurves too.
