NGK!! Yup it said AC Delco on the Box and ceramic part of the plug but NGK was stamped on the metal housing of the plug.

Needless to say I was perfectly happy with that !!

That's because Delco sux! I run NGKs in my Chevy 350 and it loves them! People look at my like I'm nutz and scratch their heads and still ask for the crummy standard resistor Delco plugs at the counter, whatever man.

Wow, another case of an American Dupe buying rebranded products from a company obstensibly made in Flint Michigan, yet contributing to the deadly and economy-wrecking "Trade Deficit" and bing 'totally O.K. with it'---while decrying the same problem he, himself says is killing the economy and the middle class in the USA.

Nothing like people who TALK patriotisim, and do subversive things willingly...

Talk about a Hypocrite!

Shame on you Norm!

Just yet another fine example of you saying one thing, and doing another...living your life in direct opposition or what you CLAIM is important. Nothing like a man who talks one way and lives another. Nothing like not Walking the Talk!

Japan AIN'T A FUC*ING COMMIE DICTATORSHIP!!! Damn Tony why can't you get that through your Box of Rocks sitting on your f'ing shoulders!!!

I have complianed about CHINA and VIETNAM!!

When have you ever ONCE heard me complaining about trading with other democracies with similar living standards as our own???

If you two aren't currently married, I think you should be ;)

93 TT- N/A to TT, Auto to 5 speed, upgrade central. Stage ...Fast!

Japan is a Constitutional Monarchy, but they for sure ain't commies, you got that right, Norm. They went from fascism to making the best damn sports car ever, the Datsun Z, soon after WWII, a couple of them nuclear bombs must have set them straight, I reckon. I guess the B52's were not enough to work out the Viet Cong, unfortunately, but that's how it all played out. And now, China has favored nation trading status cuz they're just half red.

Have you ever BEEN to China, Norm?

You're talking out your a$$ on that respect.

Japan having 'the same standard of living'---you're INSANE!

YOU ARE CONTRIBUTING TO THE TRADE DEFICIT PROUDLY...now you draw the line at 'ideology' because you don't agree with it...

Now let me get this straight: A "Displaced Worker" in North Carolina is MORE important to the country BECAUSE you say his job was given away (moved or outsourced) to a COMMIE VC or CHINESE.

But it's TOTALLY O.K. to OUTSOURCE spark plug production and CLOSE THE FLINT AC-DELCO PLUG PLANT because they outsourced the jobs to JAPAN.

BULL SH*T! Lost jobs are lost jobs, this is just another instance of you being what you have revealed yourself to be through ignorant commentary and racist attitudes towards the situation at hand:

Hypocrite!

How you ever guess? I'm overseas contributing to CHINAS Trade Deficit with the USA in regards to trained technical assistance...

Heading out to dinner now. Crocodile is good, BTW... Rat, on the other hand is best served in soup, with Chilis, easier to get the meat off the bones compared to BBQ'd...

hey Tony I said "similar living standards as our own" not SAME but in your classic TWIST my words to fit your argumment Modus Operandi you changed it to bolster your argument.

And I MADE an attempt to BUY American by getting AC Delco plugs BUT when I got home I opened the box and saw NGK stamped on them.

I wasn't upset because NGK makes GREAT stuff and not cheap inferior SHite like the CHinese do.

AT LEAST when jobs are moved to Japan the quality remains the same or increases.

Show me JUST ONE fuc*ing instance where quality EVER went up on ANY PIECE OF ROTTEN SHITE made by the Chinese that wqs formerly made by Americans.

Hell you love those little commie baztards so much you ought to really just move there permanently!!

Its possible if perhaps highly likely AC Delco bought the metal housings from NGK & assemblied it elsewhere. You know how the auto industry works...components of the end product may be outsourced from numerous places & assemblied & packaged under a entirely different brand name. Happens all the time.....even products stamped made in America.

Yeah JohnHyou are right I double checked the packaging and the fine print said assembled in the USA from Japanese parts. Good catch.

"Show me JUST ONE fuc*ing instance where quality EVER went up on ANY PIECE OF ROTTEN SHITE made by the Chinese that wqs formerly made by Americans.

Hell you love those little commie baztards so much you ought to really just move there permanently!!"

I can do just that. Will it shut your fu*king mouth about it? No. So what's in it for me? Just proving what an idiot you are on this subject?

Look, I tried like hell to get a posting in hong Kong when I took my FIRST large corporate job, since the pay was head-and-shoulders above what the pay is in AMERICA for the similar job. I'm willing to move to improve my family's lot in life.

I'm not pissed off and bitter that I'm unemployed and rooted like a tree to a fixed portion of the earth and then screaming to EVERYBODY ELSE who will listen how sh*tty my lot in life is, and how IT'S ALL SOMEONE ELSE'S FAULT BUT MY OWN!

I would take a position in Shanghai, the pay would be even higher, no more 16 hour plane flights, and when I DID return after having some idiot rent my place from me and pay it off, I would be one of those "Fat Cats" loosers in life so often complain about.

Oh, 'Castings and Base Plate Manufacture for Centrifugal Air Compressors produced by the INGERSOLL RAND COMPANY DAVIDSON NORTH CAROLINA'

Now will you shut the hell up? You're a damnable hypocrite. You damn the Chinese for a 'trade deficit' and then CONTRIBUTE TO IT in the same stroke.

I have no respect for people who live their lives differently (significantly differently) than the way they TALK about people leading their lives.

This, over the past couple of months, has come to include you, Norm. You got way too much time to wallow in your own misery and blame other people. And you're doing a damn fine job of it. But stop it allready. Goddamn it, it's getting WAY fu*king old, and frankly boring and tiresome.
