Spectra is made in Quebec, not China.
I installed a Spectra one in my Dart Sport, it took a little modification to the heater box, not a big deal, but a PITA nonetheless.
It works great and it is just like the old one, not aluminum.
As a matter of fact, i installed one of their gas tanks and sending units and it went in with no problems at all and works perfectly.
I think the heater core tubes being off slightly was an unusual defect.
Check out my build thread for pictures and part numbers.
Where in B.C. are you from?
