I'll never knowingly buy anything made in china, whether it's food, car parts, toys etc. I saw a documentary on it tonight and this clinches it.
It's nothing against the chinese people, they are told to do what they can with the resourses that they are given.
I always buy north american when possible. You can't go wrong with edelbrock products......
Japan however, has strict quality controls on their products.
Just my 2 yen's worth.
Tom.
