Ban the "bullshit" out of me,,only thing i ever saw made in sweden was a rubber dick in the mall,,4.5" extra large swedish replica

So you you have your opinion and Duster340 has his. Duster340 vents his frustrations about his experience on his American made Holley and you lash out at his country. I don't see any derogatory comments directed towards you.

So explain to me why my American made Mancini Racing subframe connectors are the wrong size and do not fit the framerails. I don't think the quality issues are limited to China. Mancini Racing gets good reviews here but I feel I got screwed by them (sales/ship error AND quality issue).

As far as China being a dictatorship, (Waynebo, this comment has nothing to do with you) it's not. They do have human rights issues, but it's nothing compared to what it was 20+ years ago at the peak of communism.

So if you refuse to buy Chinese products based on these offenses, fine. Does that mean you would buy products made in Taiwan? 2 separate countries. If not, don't blame it on human rights violations or communism, Taiwan has neither.

BTW - your beloved Edelbrock manufactures their valve covers in China...just to save you the trouble from finding out after you order them.

As for me, I still prefer parts made in the U.S. Heck, I prefer Mopars over imports, even though I own both. ALL my intakes are Edelbrocks. I use Holley and Edelbrock carbs. Would I buy a Crosswinds? Maybe. So it was cast in China. So what. I hardly think the foundries they use to cast are similar to ones used in the U.S. Why? We probably sold it to them. Would I buy Chinese products with moving parts? NO! AND I'm Chinese...so what.
