Made in USA HEI distributors?
So far all I could find is Performance Distributors. Any others? Even the official GM HEI Distributors are made in Taiwan now...

Re: Made in USA HEI distributors?
Not sure if there are anymore. Just guessing, but maybe DUI or Taylor? MSD has a lot of stuff made overseas now, not sure about their distributors.

Re: Made in USA HEI distributors?
I bought a used GM HEI off a mid-1980s rig. Still working flawlessly. Made in USA and there are likely more of 'em out there.

Re: Made in USA HEI distributors?
DUI...if you want to spend a fortune. I would get a used unit out of a junkyard, USA made and a LOT less expensive.

Re: Made in USA HEI distributors?
What a shame. Greed defeated pride, and of course quality also suffers, parts made by people that have no care in the craft. I guess I'll stick with either of those brands.

Re: Made in USA HEI distributors?
OEM HEIs last forever and if they wear out they can be rebuilt.

Re: Made in USA HEI distributors?
I knew there was a reason I kept all those HEI units, must have at least 20 of them pulled from cars back in the 80,s
