It was only a matter of time.
The unintended consequences of the rampant support companies like 440 source, proform, the Chinese stuff Mancini sells, etc....get from lots and lots of mopar folks, is why a company like edelbrock has no choice but to outsource some stuff to remain competitive.
The only was to curb this (and it’s probably too late anyhow) is to not give in and buy cheap Chinese junk!
Stop buying Chinese **** and justifying it by the lower cost, “i’m only gonna use it once” (harbor freight), etc.....excuses.
I know it costs more and money is limited, but that great savings you got on those Chinese goods, has consequences.
This isn’t directed at you 747, just my opinion on the current state of manufacturing regarding hot rod parts.
