Motorcraft parts [origin?]

Motorcraft parts [origin?]
This past week, I did some tune-up work on my son's 1984 F150 with 4.9L engine. He and I try to always use Motorcraft when possible. I replaced the sparkplugs, sparkplug wires, distributor cap, rotor, fuel filter and PCV valve.
After carefully examining all boxes and parts, this is what I found:
Sparkplugs - made in Mexico
Sparkplug wires - assembled in Mexico
Fuel filter - made in China
All other parts had no country of origin
Everything fit well and the truck runs well, but I was hoping to keep the truck "Made in the USA". I guess this is a sign of the times.
