Re: Trying to make Junky perhaps just a little bit Funky...

Looking great.

On that AC Delco mystery... I'm trying to wherever possible "keep my GM car all GM," like the ads back in the '70s or '80s used to say. But I'm increasingly disappointed by them. It looks like they are just putting their name on parts made by others. Kind of milking the brand. About a year ago I ordered some brake hoses. The outside of the box said all GM, but on the inside I didn't even a hint of GM markings. All of the marking on the hoses indicated it was a Chinese company. The parts were fine -- fit, finish, machining, quality were totally fine -- they have come a long way. But I really wanted the "GM" or "AC Delco" ink on the part because of the appearance and not "SUN HONG." If I wanted the other parts I would have ordered from them. You shouldn't pay a premium price for a box.
