Default NOS parts?

Be careful when purchasing NOS parts in GM packaging!!! May well be repops inside. Empty GM boxes available.

Repop items in an old box is sometimes a win. I have some NOS parts made in the late 70's for my 66 in the GM boxes with punch cards. The quality of the parts sucks compared to the reproduction parts that are now available. Just because it is an NOS part in an old box doesn't make it automatically superior to a high quality reproduction.

I have quite a few of old boxes and bags, maybe I should put them up on ebay too.
