We can all still be patriotic can't we?

Sorry this is not a good topic for me, I have never known anything more American than Classic and Muscle cars. The level of overseas crap has just gotten too much for me, quality might be okay, to me that is not the point. I go out of my way, with tools, shop equipment, car parts, etc to buyAmerican. I might pay more, and buy fewer things, but I feel it is an obligation.

No reason other than I wanted to, besides chinese or not at least 440source is going out of its way to supply Chrysler specific parts to the racer and enthusiast which is more than I can say about a majority of other vendors. Nothing is more frustrating than having to weed through a million car brands just to find a part for your car then getting it to find out it is the wrong part.

I have had good luck with them and will still use them for my next build. You want to be stuck on the Chinese cast aluminum products but finished and assembled here in the USA then go ahead IDK My stuff from them is still going strong after 2 years now of beating on it.

Get off you ******* high horse about American made car products we lost that war back in 1977 if you can't get out of the past than you are destine to continually relive it.

You are the guy that says his car is a factory original restoration! lmao with all american made REPOP parts lmao right! half of what these vendors are selling you are made somewhere else. Just call them and ask them. unless it's nos or a used original that works you not getting American made.

Actually no I am not, I restored my cars a couple decades ago, when this bullshit was not an issue. I realize the quantity of aftermarket parts coming from CHINA these days and I don't like it, plain and simple. If you don't give a **** who you are supporting, good for you. As for this topic I will stay on my high horse.

Thanks

You make me laugh so much, I support America period, it's not my fault the an american company called 440source sells aluminum cast products from a chinese company. They never say that in their ad's for the stuff so unless you ask how are you supposed to know, it wasn't until I put the stuff on starting using it and wondered and then called. But you make it sound like those of us who have purchased from them are un patriotic or un american and that sir is where I draw the line and are done with you on this topic for sure.

Glad you got a laugh. Not trying to offend you or the whole hobby. But it is just a shame that the aftermarket can't provide more parts produced here.

 

[BumperMan]

I hope you guys was right about 440 Source cause I just ordered around $800 in parts. They are suppose to be in next week.

I have to agree . China has put the quality but expensive USA manufacturers out of business. I needed a new flywheel, and all I found were a budget buster for me. Name brands but who knows where they are actually made? 440 source has one but readily admits they are made off shore to their specs. Claimed no problems even on 6000+ RPM engines. And it can be used with either internal or external balance. Even tho I have experienced a clutch- flywheel blow up--I got one of theirs $100. I don't plan to go 5500RPM................MO

they no longer charge shiping, but gee UPS doesnt drive for free, and If you dont cover your expenses, you will not be inbusiness, no markup the product and dont charge shiping or just be honest and understand you can alway drive there an dpickup yourself,.

Hey Mike - check out CVF racing for Mopar pulleys www.cvfracing.com - I bought their 440 kit and found it to be of good quality. The pulleys look great and the fasteners are all top quality. I had the pulleys clear anodized in Mississauga for another $125.--

All I know is I wish more places would get on the discount code train like Year One, PG and a few other because DAMN it can really make a difference when your shopping list starts to grow!

And the other thing that pisses me off about 440 Source

Billet Aluminum "V-Groove" Water Pump Pulley - Single Groove

Shown here is our billet aluminum single groove water pump pulley. Machined from a solid piece of billet aluminum, you can't beat these for a great combination of performance, durability and good looks. And, of course we've got 'em at a price that can't be beat. Use this single groove water pump pulley with NON air conditioning, NON power steering setups. Don't forget our 109-1518 bolt kit, it is REQUIRED for use with this pulley. PLEASE NOTE: Because of the extra thickness required with a pulley made of billet aluminum, the rear edge of this pulley comes very close to the bolts which hold the water pump to the housing. In some cases, depending on the thickness of the mounting flange of the specific water pump you are using, our 127-1003 water pump pulley spacer may be necessary to give the tiny extra amount of clearance which may be required.

In Stock

Go to look for the REQUIRED 109-1518 bolt kit and it is no longer on the site

I had a similar issue with them not stocking one of the serpentine pulley's anymore!
