There is a lot more than shoddy Chinese AMC emblems being
dumped out there in market. What bothers me is important components of our cars
being henco en china from brake items, to engine and transmission parts, since
(I guess) they can't be produced competively in US market anymore, so sent
overseas to be made in the Nike factories by 12 year olds making 12 cents a
week. So let's do a $50K rotisserie restoration on a muscle car, and only brake
pads, engine gaskets, pistons, (pick somehting) available will be Chinese
made.
I was reading this site:
And liked this comment, but it is unfortunately
true:
"I try to avoid buying anything made in China, but it is rather difficult
and expensive. And in truth, the rest of the world lowered it standards in
response to Chinese “quality”.
As time goes on, my guess is more and more Chinese stuff will
"flood" the market with low standard crap. I was reading a thread on a non AMC
site about crappy altenators, and 'lifetime' starters that have a lifetime of
about a year before you have to replace. On a starter....I have 'lifetime'
starter from O'Reillys, not sure where it was made, the brand name is Ultima,
and the guys that work there jokingly call it 'ultima mieirda' (sic) for
'ultimate piece of poo. Some I have on my AMCs have worked great thru 100,000+
miles, hurricanes, flooding, high water, heat, humidity, cold, volcanos in
Iceland, so really great, however, some like wife's 88 Eagle, have to replace on
time frame like damned swallows coming back to Capistrano.
Waltrip at least can do NAPA commercial with straight face
while being stalked, surrounded by Chinese auto parts:
Maybe we can get some more forged steel crankshafts for
390/401 done hench en china
