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?

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.

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
