Anyone buy a new coil for their TR lately? Did you happen to notice where it was manufactured?
I picked one up off of EBay awhile back. An unused, AC Delco coil with the proper #'s. However, after opening the box and checking it out, I see that it is made in China. The bottom of the coil looks like it has a LOT less resin fill in it. The resistance and all that checks out. Haven't put it on my Casper's device. And I really don't have a Kv meter to check spark voltage. In short it looks OK. Just...well, different. All the packing appears to be legit. Possibly a move by GM to start making more money.
Anyone else observe this? Or care?
