On that website the next line says its a subsidiary of Summit

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
 

That's what it seems. According to Bloomburg Summit is a business name for Autosales Inc. A-Tech is a wholesale division of Summit.

The question is why these bearings? Were they supposed to be good?

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
 

Those are clevite 77 bearings and yes I've received several sets like this. But usually they are opened in box. Also have received them with a rough inside surface.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
 

They're Clevite, Atech is Summit's wholesale parts warehouse. If you think I'm sourcing Chinese parts you should go back and refresh yourself with this build.

And as a reference to "nice stuff" this did make me laugh, since all your stuff is as nice as the nicest.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
 

Jeg's sold wholsale under the name Buckeye Sales going back many years.

Summit has used the A-Tech name for years as well and sells std parts and accessories to various places and sends out retail catalogs


Dan Fletcher featured the brand years ago.....on his cars...

I bought a lot of stuff from Buckeye sales back in the 1980's...and Joe Amato's Keystone Warehouse was another big supplier o parts.....they sold to everyone and delivered every day and probably still do.....in my area...

When local speed shops that we bought from on a wholesale level slowly went under...

The big guys survived....

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
 

I check it daily. Don't be offended. It's very easy to wind up with Chinese made goods without regards to the name on the box. I think my Eagle crank is machined in America from a blank cast in China or Korea. The new Tacoma Narrows bridge near here is Korean steel. Nothing comparable is available from US manufactures. What a shame.


I have King rod bearings and piston rings. Seems to be a US based company. Clevite makes my mains. They are Mahle which is a German company. Very good product.


Good luck getting your mill back up and running.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
 

This looks like a return that just got put back on the shelf without inspecting it....

I am sure that A-Tech would want to know about the problem..

They have always been a good company to work with in the past...

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
 

What was the manufacturing date on the bearings? I agree with Bob, these had to be parts that were returned to A-Tech.


See you at the races,
