I bought a Standard red box ingition control module for my Grand Prix because it was on close out at Rock.
I figured i would keep it for a spare or use it on a customer car or even ebay it later if it never gets used.
I did not buy the T series because they are known to be made in China but to my amazement this one is made in Hong Kong!
AFAIK Hong Kong is part of China.
One has to wonder if these parts are not identical and just in different boxes.The T series is almost the same price retail as the red box on close out but has a better guarantee.
I am thinking about sending it back and just buying one as needed probably OEM.
I just have a feeling Standard is playing games here reboxing the same part at higher prices at the consumers expense.
