>I've always wondered. What does NOS stand for? New Old Stock. Like, VW doesn't make those little one-way valves for the power brake vacuum line in a '71 bus any more. But a lot of dealers still have them on the shelves, at least until they all get bought, which might not be for years. Those are New Old Stock-- factory original, factory fresh, never used-- but been sitting on the shelf for a long time, waiting.
