The $11.95 one?Taiwan is better than China- That's my experience anyway. I just bought the Mancini Box and it works great!

Yeah they quoted me $78.95 for that onethe quality of the master pro parts (especially the ignition parts) from oreilly's is very poor. when I worked at oreilly's, master pro ignition parts were some of our most returned items. oreilly's still offers a standard brand part #lx101 and I have had good luck with them in the past. the downside is the standard cost three times as much as a master pro.
No the one for 45.00The $11.95 one?
Getting hard to find the old stuff these daysPersonally I stay with the older NOS/NORS stuff. I am into the ignition been doing it for a long time so I have the testers to check them with. Seems like the Knockoffs fail when they go through a few simulated hot/cold cycles. Just what I have experienced. The wife think I use the fridge just for testing! Keeps the beer cold silly!
I get it but I have been a buyer of that stuff Just Mopar, but for other makes Ford etc, but have friends that just do that stuff so we trade back and forth alot of parts. stuff for years doing the distributors so alot of it kind of falls into my lap through vendors talking. Just scored a bunch of LFRB of parts I have to go through, mostly 60-70's stuff, Filko, Guarenteed, Shurhit, Mopar etc, out there but you have to hunt for it. Then you have to figure out what it fits. Hell I have to have 50 old ignition catalogs. Then of course I get other makes in for Ford, GM etc. I trade them with guys that just specialize in that stuff.Getting hard to find the old stuff these days
There was a guy on facebook marketplace selling a barn full of old 40's through 60's Mopar stuff but who knows what is for what lolI get it but I have been a buyer of that stuff for other makes Ford etc, but have friends that just do that stuff so we trade back and forth alot of parts. stuff for years doing the distributors so alot of it kind of falls into my lap through vendors talking.

Go through that alot. Some times just to much work. Stuff I just got in will take a few days to convert to Mopar numbers to make it easier to pick out when I use it.There was a guy on facebook marketplace selling a barn full of old 40's through 60's Mopar stuff but who knows what is for what lol

I got 2 of them from jegs. Said made in USARob the Jegs add says made in USA?
I went to Napa, to buy a Standard volt reg ,for a much higher cost,( for 26 bucks, since I didn't want China) damn thing was China. Blew out in a few months. Ended up w/ the USA Mopar one afterI bought a master pro coil a few years ago because it was the only one in stock & I was away from home and mine went bad. Didn’t last. I took it back to Oreilly and asked for a Standard. They ordered one for me. When it came in I pulled it out of the box & it was the same exact coil!
I bought a more expensive chrome one & it has lasted good.
Now though, OReilly carries the Standard Blue Streak line. It took a little while after they started carrying Standard, but they do now. That's what I put on Vixen. I am pretty sure even they're still made in China, but man, that's about all we got now. It's still rockin on and been several months.I bought a master pro coil a few years ago because it was the only one in stock & I was away from home and mine went bad. Didn’t last.

Used to be Japan was king of the hill with electrical stuff. When it was marked MADE IN JAPAN, you had something. Now, not so much. I hope Taiwan and Korea stuff is good. Who the hell knows? I really think China is after the world's ***.....especially the US, so they're going to make the cheapest crap they can.A large number, if not the majority, of semiconductor devices are made in Taiwan. How reliable are your TV sets, PCs, Cell phones? Are they lasting more than a week?
And Korea. I have a Korean car, a Kia. In this country it has a 7 yr warranty, other companies such as Ford, GM, Chyrsler etc are playing catch up....
