About 80% I'd say of MSD stuff is from China-so draw your own conclusions there. Only their high end digital race stuff (ProMod, Top Fuel stuff) is still US made. For the typical consumer MSD has the philosophy that since they are so huge, they get away with selling turds because as long as people are happy getting a NEW free MSD turd to replace their defective MSD turd, then the MSD wheels can just keep turning and turning. I prefer Mallory Ignition (but now have been bought out....) and Taylor wires. Both to my knowledge are US manufactured a and we used to run Taylor 409 race wires on the sprint cars because MSD wires couldn't handle the extreme vibrations combined with sustained high RPM runs.
