Thank you Wes for the positive post.  Look at all those things that you DON'T HAVE TO GET at Walmart.

Good for you Wes!  And thanks for the web address.  Very cool.

I also manufacture and sell some "old car" products of my own design.  I could increase profits if I sent them out of the country to be made but I will not do it just for the greed of a few more dollars.  I have manufactures I have dealt with for years and have built some great relationships right here in the USA.  Below is the text in the flyer I include with my products: 

THANK YOU FOR BUYING A PRODUCT MADE HERE IN THE USA

TAKE PRIDE IN YOUR PURCHASE

YOUR SUPPORT KEEPS YOUR FELLOW AMERICANS WORKING AND HELPS OUR COUNTRY TO STAY STRONG AND INDEPENDENT BY KEEPING JOBS RIGHT HERE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

BE PROUD OF AMERICAN QUALITY

It's time we become the paragon of quality again.

Not to dig up this old thread, but in regards to the comments on tools;
Can we say Snap-on or Matco boys and girls?

Update:  Installed the hot water control valve after testing it first and it installed Wednesday night.  Since they are only $19, bought an extra (have 3 cars that this fits).  Then the switch behind alternator that waits until car is warmed up to allow heat to start (makes ground at 140'F) after 46 years stopping working.  I grounded it and now I'm back with climate control, albeit without a delay.  However it is stored in a conditioned garage and not driven in extreme cold, so no matter.  Can't complain about an original part.
