....and the next time you are in Wally World, just check to see if you are really getting a better price. I'm starting to find, locally at least, that many of their prices exceed the local stores plus are made even more cheaply then the Chinese crap that the mom and pop stores are now forced to sell to remain close to competitive

look in a gun value book in the Winchester Rifle section. you will see a Wal Mart specific listing, of lower value. all non wal mart brand clothing they sell are irregulars. The electronic components that are put into the Wal Mart electronics are from a cheaper source. I bought an RCA 5 disc changer a few years ago, returned 4 of them b4 I got 1 that worked right.. when I replaced that 1 last year, the cd player didn't work quite right, but I never bothered taking it back... some stuff is not made cheaper but most is. My mom works at walmart so I know what is and isn't

"Chinese irregulars" is a double saying.

Kinda like when Jay Leno was talking about foreign ripoffs of GM parts.....he asked "if there was a crappy ripoff part for a GEO Metro, wouldnt they have used it at the factory?"

Just think about all the internal engine parts out there everyone's using. Call me nuts but I'll stick with my 40 yr old crap thanks very much!

Years ago I bought a new Mercury Cougar because I wanted to buy an American car. Found out the body came from Canada and the engine had Mexico stamped all over it. Engine fried at 20,000 miles. I told the Ford Rep that I thought I had bought an American car........his comment, "Where have you been Buddy, nothing is made here any more!"

Exactly,when I get around to rebuilding the 400 sbc sitting in the garage it will get the ISKY 30/30 cam that I have sitting on the shelf. And it will also get the OFFY 360 manifold sitting on the shelf.

HF taps make me nervous. I know one of these times it's going to break.

yes i agree with this statement very much

And a big Hooray for the American companies making the QUALITY aftermarket parts and not knuckling under to the temptation to farm out the manufacturing and fire the help....

Take a look at Howard's Cams, Edelbrock, Crower, Stef's, and a whole host of other companies... There are still quality products being made, you just have to be willing to part with the $$$$$ to get them!!!! Are they worth the extra money??? IMO, hell yes!!! If your serious about going fast and want parts that are made by companies that still have an R&D department and a Quality Control department, then pay attention to the origin of the stuff you buy....

i will and have used a scat /cat /eagle /wheeler crank or rod over any beat to hell 40 year stuff and if you have deep pockets buy usa parts .some of the parts are junk not all and if some of them parts were made in the usa they may not be better not to many people have much pride in there job .i not going to get in to it still piss about that deal but i did have to send back a set of made in the usa rods $850 set of rods never had one set of $320 china H beams that i had to send back ? and can say that there working in engines that take more of a beating then most guys could or would never do

Don, your story on the Cougar brought back an old memory. I work for the State of Maryland and for many years the Comptroller refused to buy any fleet vehicles not made in the US. About 12 years ago, there was a proposed contract to buy a fleet of Dodge cars, but the Comp found out they were made in Canada so he refused to buy them. When he switched to the GM bid, he found out the cars were made in Mexico, as were the Fords. It appeared that he wasn't going to buy any new fleet cars.

But then the Prime Minster of Canada heard about the Dodge contract rejection and called the White House, who in turn called the State Department, who in turn called the Maryland Governor, who in turn told the Comptroller to buy the damn Dodges.

Times change, fast forward 12 years. Now the State is buying Honda's.

the steel from asia is garbage. thats my first and last 2 cents on this thread.

Bob most Japanes stuff is actually assembled here with more american parts than some american cars! Go figure!

Their food sucks too! Dog, Bamboo, Rat, and all the other stuff they eat. If I ate that s&!*, I would manufacture and export crap too!
