NOS – Original spare part from old stock
NOS stands for New Old Stock and refers to unused original spare parts from earlier production.
Original Bosch spare parts from older stock are particularly interesting for the authentic restoration of historical ignition systems.
Important note on item condition:
Due to age and storage, sometimes for decades, both the original packaging, if available, and the item itself may show signs of storage and aging. These include, for example, dust, light scratches, discoloration, or superficial signs of corrosion.
These features can occur despite the unused condition and are not unusual for historical NOS spare parts.
Please note the product images and the information on the respective item condition.
Fitment and Use
Before purchasing, please compare the Bosch part number 1 237 122 829 and the number of your existing ignition distributor with the information listed above.
Vacuum advance units for different Bosch ignition distributors can differ in terms of their mounting, adjustment characteristics, and vacuum curve. A visually similar version is therefore not necessarily interchangeable.
If you have any questions regarding compatibility or the item, we will be happy to assist you.
