Some of the best aftermarket carb builders use Proform components in their carbs. I've used lots of their small block valve covers, timing covers and even some of their cheap tools for the track. GM licensed them to reproduce some of their products. Maybe you got some knockoff junk?

Pro Comp is tires. I have a set of 4 on a truck. Great tires, but expensive as hell.

Pro Form is carbs, etc. Always heard great stuff about them.

What is the meaning of VALUE?
 
Its seems in these economic times that it's to easy to stop using the good old saying:
" You get what you pay for"
In performance parts there is a real cost to provide a quality part and the word "cheap" usually always means you will be possibly buying it twice, or using a lot of time, money and frustration making it work or fit.

Try not to measure quality products by the initial cost, use the word "Value" when making the buying decision. You, will feel and sleep better.

Best Regards,
Ray @ Raylar

i say the same time and time again
better quality just plain and simple
costs more and that is especially relevant
were high performance boating is concerned

Be aware when dealing with some "ebay stores" (if thats who you bought it through and not a private ebayer). Some of these stores get blems and close out invatory. I've had good and bad dealings with stores on ebay. Usually no complaints though. Btw, you might want to also look into qft main bodies. Good luck!
