A buddy in town had an interesting comment and I had to go buy one to check it out...

I buy Standard Hygrade vacc. advance cans when I rebuild a dizzy, if it needs something other than the 'stock' can....
now oddly enough these have an 'ink stamp' on the arm side of the diaphragm housing...

If you have a points, or V8 can they are numbered/lettered AG-XX (AG-11, etc..)

The EI versions are:

VC-185 AH-6
VC-208 AH-12
etc....

Now, I went and bought a 'Wells' brand vacc can for 1/2 the price for comparison.... it is marked and stamped exactly like the Standard-Hygrade models.....

So either, the chinese are building and making very nice counterfeits... or they are made by one company, and Wells only charges a small % for putting it in a baggy, vs. SMP who puts it in a nice box....

Are these still made 'here'?




thanks,
