    Cute. Quite a lot of NOS parts are still NOS because back in the day there was something wrong with them. They were set aside for a better part, but not thrown away.. And some remain today, not thrown out-NOS but not perfect. I'm happy to know all the parts you buy are perfect-hidden and saved by an angel until you came along. :)
     
  2. I wasn’t trying to be cute,,,just stating what the op said,,,it was nos .
    And I have found many great old parts that are 50-60 years old or better,,,and still like new .
    And,,,,I have seen some that are NOS,,,,and look like hell .
    Basically junk,,,,,but still unused in an original box .
    You have to inspect them and make up your mind about the condition.
    His radiator looked great and unused,,,other than the dried foam in the top .

    Sorry man,,,,,hope you have better luck on finding good parts .

    Hey guys, I did the vinegar soak on it by plugging the upper hose fittings and turning it upside down. Put a gallon of white vinegar in for 2 hours. Followed by fillin/draining with water4 times. It removed whatever that crap was.
    Today I had it pressure tested and flow tested. No problems. [​IMG]
