  Try W.W. Grainger which there should be several in the Houston area. 
They carry France brand oil burner transformers, 10 kV -at-23 mA as well as
a lot of other goodies for Tesla usage.   The stock number for a general
use xformer is 2E538 and sells for $40.95 in catalog 388, a 1997 release.
 They have 3 other specific use ignition transformers for $37.55 each.  
There is one catch (of coarse), they only sell to a business.   I have
found a business card and a P.O. Box will suffice in most cases.
