[Chevelle-list] "Summit" brand parts?

[Karl Groves]

I think everyone knows the concept well from supermarkets. Basically, the
supermarket commissions a major manufacturer for a store brand. Thus, the
store makes some money & the manufacturer sells twice as much, and
everyone's happy.

I assume this is what Summit does with its brand of parts.  So, my question
is this: Are theses parts actually manufactured at the same facility/ within
the same tolerances/ with the same materials as the major brand?  In other
words, in the most recent Summit update, the cover features a "Summit"
intake manifold which looks suspiciously like an Edelbrock performer and a
mechanical fuel pump that looks just like a Holley fuel pump.  Are these the
same (er, of the same quality) as the "real" ones?
