Yup says right on the carton made in china. I still put it in and so far (30miles on it) things are going fine. I looked on line and the problems seemed to be with Jeeps and billit cams wearing out the cam gears. We have steel cams, I did ck the gear fit for over size dizzy gear, had up and down movement on the rotor so the gears seem to be fitting ok. I haven't regapped the plugs to .045 yet but with .030 it fired with out setting the choke this is a good thing, never fired like that before. I hope it continues along this line and no problems pop up.

I did say before that I used dura spark and had good luck with it in an AMC. The only one that gave me trouble was in my 68 f250 302 from an 83 van, and it started problems in 98, ran good till then. I now have one in a 64 sunbeam alpine with a 2.8 v6 and does good so far, but I will get a second box to be safe. Just as I have a spare electric fuel pump, it went bad on me in two weeks, left me on the road so I learned a bit on that one. As we all know it's not if they go out it's when, and seems at the most inopportune time.
