repop vs incorrectly dated NOS

[RJS]

Which would everyone consider to be a "better" option for a high level restoration. incorrectly dated NOS parts or reproduction parts.

Curious on which direction to go on my project.

Thanks everyone!

Like mentioned it depends on said part and said car.
I try to get correct for a car that will never be OE judged.
When it came to the Regulator I couldn't get a good repop. and no one was making Yellow letter ones for a 1972 so I bought NOS with a 73 date on it.

Just remember too that NOS doesn't always mean that it will fit perfect or look perfect.  I've gotten some NOS parts that were either seconds and sold over the counter or had shelf wear on them.  Granted the dates didn't match but neither was the fit / finish.  Some repro parts are just as good as OE parts as stated.  Then again, others leave a lot to be desired.
