carter fuel pump made in korea?

Well I finally voted in the poll. And I will admit I vote: No, I like my carter fuel pump made in Korea ---

And be fore everyone blasts me for not supporting USA made items, let me explain as to why I vote NO..... PLAIN AND SIMPLE BECAUSE OF COST.

If I could get a USA made carter fuel pump at the same price as one made in Korea then I would buy the USA made one, PROBLEM is, WE CAN NOT.

We all have our favorite brands and all of us in the hobby will go to great ends to defend that particular brand's quality, fit, easy of service etc, and in the end also their price.

Case in Point:::: Everyone on this site and many others loves the quality and fit of AMD Sheet Metal parts. MYSELF INCLUDED, many of their parts are on my Demon and I just ordered a new batch of them. But does it make you think twice to know 100% of their parts are stamped in Taiwan, using a variety of countries steel (not USA steel) based on the current market for steel. I highly doubt it.

Why Not - Because they are providing a quality part at a price the market will bare.

If your carter fuel pump was made 100% in USA and ended up costing twice or three times as much no one would buy them.

Current USA problem is that we're in a cycle that can not support itself: That cycle is as follows: Public wants low cost on everything and Public wants it now all at the same time the Public work force wants to be highly paid for all jobs. . . .

With all products you can chose : GOOD - FAST - CHEAP -- problem is you can only have (2) of these at one time. The USA wants FAST & CHEAP - - Hence Y every fast food restaurant now has a dollar menu, grocery stores give away free gasoline, Walmart is king, and people on unemployment would rather not work (and then *****) instead of taking (2) part time jobs. Its just a viscous cycle that will continue till our government, labor force, and company owners can figure out a way to make it cheaper to keep work here in the USA -- That means a 25% tariff on China, and other foreign countries, labor force needs to be realistic about the $$ value of their jobs, and companies need to use high profits to reinvest in the future of manufacturing in the USA.

Since that realistically will not happen due to the great divide in the country (if you don't believe there is one just read some posts on FABO and you can see first hand) I like the rest of us will continue to turn our Detroit USA made muscle car classics into IMPORTS with parts made in other countries at a price we can afford to save our precious cars.
