I’ve bought and returned the 40 dollar ones before that had the hex crimp, sold as motor craft genuine and showed up in a letter envelope completely blank with some Chinese letters.I agree with cubey, don't want to encourage the fakers.
From that linked article, the OP says that the real Motorcraft GP has a hex crimp near the top, and the fakes have a circle there. The several ebay offerings I looked at had the circle.
It also says that real Motorcraft parts bags have a little circle punched out somewhere, to let air out.
Now I'm going out to the shop to check the ones I have on the shelf.
China can make higher quality stuff. When you engage them for contract you set the quality control standards. Most Americans want immediate gratification @ little to no cost. China says no problem here’s the quality you wish.
