over on the b site.....
Fuel pressure
I tried to order a Carter pump from Summit and they were on back order....so I got a Holley one and it’s still a Carter pump in a Holley box, pump had “Made in USA” stamped on it, I was surprised. I got a Wix fuel filter, and I thought those were also made here but the filter had “Made in China” on it...almost didn’t put it on but I needed one so on it went.

I just got Raybestos brake hoses for the Dakota.
Made in China.
What really rubs me raw is that they're the same sunshit hoses you can buy on Rockauto for half the price, and it says so right on the part! **** that! Their email response to my complaint said that issues with Chinese parts was old news. I call Bullshit.
I called Wagner and they said their hoses in that application were still made in the USA, so we'll see. They are in the mail!
******* Chinese spark plugs are the reason I had to helicoil my neon head. Torqued em all to spec, but the gaskets never crushed and they worked loose. Goddammit China trash autolite plugs can't make the gaskets properly. The leprechauns didn't have my Champions and I didn't check the Autolite box until it was too late.
I've found if you stick with the OEM suppliers, you're more like to get made in USA parts.
As it says on my bumper stickers, **** CHINA.
Wix is global now. Which means they could be made here, China, Jaypan, Koreear, Ruskieland, pretty much wherever.
**** that! Their email response to my complaint said that issues with Chinese parts was old news. I call Bullshit. ...... **** CHINA.
Could NOT agree more. All the stupid bullshit that people in this country are worried about today is going to pale in comparison to what is coming from the Reds.The ISSUE with Chinese parts is that they're made in a commie country that is preparing for war with us and gave us the ******* Chinese flu!
didnt know that , have been running purolater --
dont it piss u off , to buy a hotrod part from jegs , or summit , and it has metric bolts / nuts ??!!
Isn't "USA" a city in China?
