Response to You are partly right...

You get what you pay for. I am jinxing myself here but the pickup coil in my truck Duraspark came out of a junkyard 400 OEM, 1978. The aftermarket replacement let me down in a week. Pulled that one out of a parts dizzy, and 9 years of reliable service. It scares me to death to know what I'll probably have to replace it with someday. Just tuned it up day before yesterday. O'Reillys best was Chinese reference Standard Motor Products. Cap, rotor, plugs (Autolite 45s is all they had) and wires all made in China hpefully except for the plugs but who knows. The only thing brass in the whole deal was the rotor tip and the coil side of the coil wire. I gapped them down to .035 and had to dress the rotor, hopefully they will hold up. It really sucks.
