Come to think of it, Alex, I do remember unwrapping a couple of those blue bags with CAM rack boots in it and not finding the provision for the air equalizing tube. Wahler stats are as inexpensive (and OEM) as any, hoses I've had from Roulunds and Mackay, I think, as well as had-to-have-it-today hoses from the dealer, Ruville tensioners and some no-name injection molded belly pan have not caused me any pain. Stern's fun with the two versions of tailgate cable was amusing, from the alt.autos.volvo thread, as I just recently played that game with a once-before repaired original. All that focus on doubling the defroster wire but not a comment on the grounding scheme, especially coming from a guy who knows the value of getting every last millivolt to the load. Speaking of lighting, I have some "ST" made in Taiwan 240 taillamps to install soon. You've got me wondering if that will turn out badly. I notice Doug found the Scan-Tech prepump is made in Canada; I wonder if at an AC Delco facility? But you're saying you'd think twice before bolting on a Scan-Tech oil pump, right?
