OEM!

["Alan W. Presley" <awpresley@earthlink.net>]

Hi All,

OEM means Original Equiptment Manufacturer, which should not be confused
with NOS (New Old Stock)

OEM = Parts made recently by the manufacturer who original produced it.

NOS = Parts made back in 19XX (when the car was new) made by the
original manufacturer and never used or installed on a car.

________________

OEM = Good, if the manufacturer did not change the specs. (cheaper $)

NOS = Best, if stored properly (not rusty or bent) (Expensive!)


BEWARE:  some people will say a part is NOS when it is really just good
condition when they pulled it from the car.  Look for the parts tag, NO
TAG - NOT NOS!
