Default 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.

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...
