The copper Delcos are made by Autolite - and I've seen Chinese-made Autolites at Walmart.

Ya autolite went to China a few years ago. Autolite plugs have always been junk anyway.

You think that "Made in China" on the cardboard refers to the cardboard itself and not the spark plug?

Many reboxers will say "Refer to item for origin of production" or something similar. I've seen some where the say the cardboard is Made in China - Part is made in xxxx.
ACDelco is a reboxer so the spark plugs might be reboxed Denso or NGK. Most sparkplugs will have the origin stamped on them.

No need to fear. The spark plug factories in China and India, for the most part, more modern than the ones in the USA. Humans do not touch those plugs. Get used to it folks.

Take a look on the metal part by the hex. My last set said " Assembled in USA with Japanese and USA Parts"

Engine is an 89 Chevy pickup. No mention of coo on the plugs that I can see.

Yes, they certainly used to. When I changed the plugs in the Silverado I had they were made in Japan NGK's. That was back in 2012 I think.

The OEM-spec iridium/platinum ones are NGK or Denso. The Rapidfire series appear to be made by Federal-Mogul.

Check the smooth section below the hex. It should be there.

Better get used to it? And a smiley face to boot! Really? You better get used to being unemployed! Already retired you say? Go luck with your government pension when all your working countrymen are unemployed. Got your own savings you say? Good look getting your worthless paper money that is nothing more than a ledger item on some computer. Better get used to it Snagglefoot.

And with our schools so busy teaching the new generations about social justice, safe spaces, microaggressions, fluid genders and other such nonsense, while other countries are pumping out students with real technical skills and knowledge, the outcome is hardly anything to be happy about.
