Re: AC Delco problems
It was Delphi that was looking for bankruptcy court protection.
Just down the road a piece, in Kokomo Indiana.

Re: AC Delco problems
The news here tonight announced that AC will no longer make spark plugs here. They have been made here for over 100 years.

Re: AC Delco problems
That spark plug plug comment is stomach tightening. Can you get more American than an AC spark plug?

Re: AC Delco problems
I feel that GM thumbed their nose at customers and their problems for too long. In the late '70s and early '80s friends made a killing doing cam changes in 305s. It was a big problem with no help from GM. This is only one problem that customers got stuck with. Now that GM is building some quality cars, customers are too gun shy to buy....no matter what J. D. Powers says. I wonder if GM can hold out long enough to get the ship turned around. I hope so because I work there and see the efforts people on the floor put into building a quality product. I still think we should have a retro '69 Chevelle in the mix. With the Corvette 427 we could even have a COPO Chevelle. I'd be the first to put in an order for one. It would have to be a six speed. I'm sure that Bob, Al, and others wouldn't be far behind.

Re: AC Delco problems
Sam..They won't say yet. News figures about 1000. The Local Union for AC figures for every AC job lost, it affects 6 non GM workers. That will be another big hit for Flint.
