NOS is not Remanufactured. Two different things.
A remanufactured distributor has the points and everything else installed and has had bushings replaced if necessary, etc. It was and may be ready to run. Of course, after sitting in a box for decades, it's possible the grease has dried up.
I used to have a bunch of these units and the worst of them only required fresh grease.
I suppose the way they were stored has something to do with it.
NOS: A NEW and NEVER used part that was manufactured by the automotive company or their designated supplier.
NORS: A part made for a vehicle by an outside source. Example? NAPA.
Remanufactured: A part that has been previously used but has been remanufactured to be used once again.
