Poor quality parts ruining the hobby for me

I've even had made in the U.S.A. parts like Holley fuel pumps leak like a sieve right out of the box...

Even the import Holley designs do that....746-pce145.1002.jpg

"Pump doesnt work
Bought pump installed on car would draw fuel from tank so gravity prime lind and pump just pouring fuel out of bottom. Was against a time line so had to go pick up and over pay for new holly to get on road"
"Immediately Leaked
I bought this hoping to save a few dollars. Got it installed and plumbed, put fuel in the tank, and immediately noticed it was leaking from the pump body. I checked all my connections and everything was good. I removed the pump and took it apart, and found THEY FORGOT THE GASKET during assembly. The casting was also terrible and could have leaked even with the gasket. I RTV'd it up and tried to make it work, but when i put voltage to it, it seemed intermitant and still leaked.

So... I went and bought one that was MADE IN USA, that worked the first time, and was easier to install." Good for you for finding one that didnt leak.
