About NOS
Just so you know (as a buyer), "NOS" parts do not necessary equate to "perfect original parts" when used as an advertising descriptor. As these parts are often 40 plus years old, they may have some "shelf rash" or ding or scratch on them. Often there's a reason they sat on a shelf for soooo long (they weren't good enough back in the day). On the other hand, they might just be in perfect condition. It just depends on the part and how the seller/owner chooses to describe that part.
Hope that helps some!
