Default Re: Parts quality

One problem is we generally don't know what comes from China and what is made here in US. I am referring to building a 1956 Chevrolet that started 15 years ago so my guess is that now even more parts come from China than before. One parts house would sell the US made part and a China or other country part with the corresponding price. Then you could choose. I can remember going to Kragens to 30-50 years ago and end up coming home with a part that didn't fit. It was frustrating back then and may or may not have anything to do with China. So I feel for guys who's livelihood has to depend on getting the right parts but for me, I get frustrated for a few minutes then try to get a part that works.
