I'd really like to know too so here's a bump.
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.

yup, just look at the pictures of the summit/Jegs stuff, and compare it to a picture of the name brand stuff...pretty easy to figure out who is actually making it.
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...

Summit doesnt make anything... they are a distribution house they get bids from all different companies to supply a product with there name on it but they have to buy X amount of it

IIRC the summit brand headers are made by flowtech, and their intakes are made by Professional Products....don't know about their braided hose.

We have had some problems with Summit branded hose and fittings. I now get Russell or Aeroquip.

I bought a set of Summit shorty headers ( bolt to factory y pipe) for my 92 D150 and they look exactly like the Flowtech headers. I had them coated and they`ve been on the truck 8-9 years with no problems.

i am looking to buy some braided line and fittings to replace my fuel system. in my search for what i needed i was pricing aeroquip brand then came across the summit brand and it is considerably cheaper.
i was wondering who makes this stuff. is it aeroquip or earls just with the summit name on it?
Ive used pretty much all of them but the summit brand ones seem to be the easiest to install. The finish seems to be about the same as the rest.I have no complants.

Any body use there balancers was looking at them or the 440source ones?
I use the balancer with the built in degrees. 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.

summit branded are the same as other warehouse branded products, made by a number of different companies. the warehouses that I deal with sell, Big End, Allstate ones and I believe they are all made by the same company. I use the cheaper ones myself and they seem fine, only complain is they scratch easier (love the banna)

I've used the Summit fittings for years with no problems. If you have a friend working at Summit they get an amazing discount on the fittings.

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. 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
