Default Who's doing 47 Ford distributors now?

I need the distributor on my 47 sedan V8 repaired. Just called Bubba who used to do them and he's no longer doing it. He suggested Michael Driscoll in Tennessee but I haven't found him on the internet, Anyone have Michael's contact information or can refer me to someone else?

Thanks for your help.

I just found a rebuilt one from Fred Wilmer at South Side Obsolete he's sending out today.

MANY of you folks are the first to recommend a company or a service, but never seem to follow-up with any sort of contact information. Most of these folks asking questions don't have a clue who a "Charlie ny" is, or a "Michael Driskell/3rd Gen". Just think about it.
