There used to be a guy here who worked at Summit, who could find out stuff like that...but he isn't around anymore. I hope he didn't in trouble for telling people stuff he wasn't supposed to. Rich H.

John, I'm not sure who makes it but I just installed Summits -10 line on my car and it seemed like decent quality. Time will tell I guess. Last edited by WILD BILL; 03/30/10 10:54 PM.

Also bought a MSD 8203 coil and it was also tagged made in China. No wonder there is so many unemployed in the USA.

I had a few of their fittings,and they looked the same as some of the name brand stuff I have used,but I don't know who actually made them. www.dunnuckracing.com

I'd be that holley is making the Jegs $60 fuel pumps, Jegs fuel cells are made by RCI, the Jegs electronic capacitive discharge ignition boxes sure look a lot like MSDs... Photobucket sucks

I bought an ingnition box years ago before going to an MSD that was manufactured by Mallory. I know for a fact that the summit brand carb is made in China and has had some issues as seen in some posts on this board and YB.

Its been awhile since I bought it, but I remember something on the box like "made in china".. for an Australian company. It works fine for me.

I use the cheaper ones myself and they seem fine, only complain is they scratch easier (love the banna) 1973 Road Runner 1974 Satellite (for sale) 1973 240z (wifes) 1993 Ramcharger (thanks Devil) 2002 Honda S2000

It goes back to the saying if it looks to godd to be true than it is not. That is incorrect. Summit carbs and regulators are made by Holley and come down the same line as the Holley parts. The carb has the one piece main body, with removeable top that Holley offered years ago. Holley no longer makes that carb as a Holley brand and is a private label build for Summit only. As far as the fittings, depends on who the lowest bidder was for this quarter Monte
