carter fuel pump made in korea?

If you are old enough to remember the 50's/60's Japan made nothing but crap. Cheap toys etc. (they always made a good sewing machine-a copy of the Singer 15) They learned to make it better and better and now the GOOD stuff comes from Japan. In the 70's Taiwan made the cheap crap. Now they have some good stuff to sell. It is a cycle and we are not the only ones caught in it. Electronic cameras come from Japan with Carl Ziess lenses (they use to be one of the best camera makers-from Germany).
