He has a unique process for rebuilding coils and guarantees his work. The combination of properly rebuilt distributor and high voltage coil transformed the way my original '35 engine runs.

Skip Haney also has an excellent reputation for distributor and coil rebuilds.
Does John Shelor actually rebuild/rewind the coils with modern high temperature insulated magnet wire? I thought I once read in the V-8 Times that he just drives the existing moisture from the inside of the original type coils by some type of oven baking process.
