Holley replacement parts?
 
I am doing some maintenance on a couple of carbs. I try to only buy "made in America" stuff to help support our hobby. so my question is: Are Holley replacement parts made in America? Such as the power valves and diaphragms for accelerator pumps.

Im not sure, but I'll see if I can find out for you . I'll make some calls

Good question, I've bought some Holley parts, Holley brand but I don't know. If Holley doesn't make them here is there another option?

I ordered the parts, so I will see soon enough.

I think BG is another option for American made. They would be my second choice.

I got my Holley parts. They just say "printed in USA":( I dont think they are made in the US anymore.

I think the next time I order, I will try BG parts.

Isn't holley going through a bankruptcy re-organization now? I'm sure they're trying to get the least cost suppliers, which unfortunately aren't in the US anymore, apparently. :(

Maybe the next time you order BG will be the ONLY option. :(:(

I was told Holley is not made in the USA anymore. I ask Summit Racing and that was their reply.

None of the parts said "Made in USA." The parts looked like good quality.

I don't think they are USA made. It would be very obviously printed if they were...like the eddy intakes, right on the front.

I noticed last night that alot of the Edelbrock intakes DON'T have the "Made in the USA" sticker anymore... Maybe its just the catalog using older pictures?


Funny story ( at least I thought it was humerous)... Edelbrock was advertising "made in the USA" with Vic himself on the TV... I bought a new carb last year, and there was a deal for a free Edelbrock air cleaner ( "send in your proof of purchase")... The air clearner arrived, chrome 14" "Edelbrock" script... On the bottom, there was a small decal... "made in China" ... I didn't know whether to laugh or cry...
