I need an overflow bottle for my radiator before I go back to the track. :oops:
Anyone know if one swap is easier than another? Or should I grab one out of any A body?
What year did they start putting them in?
How about the aftermarket pieces?
Thank you once again.

I'm using an old aluminum beer can as my overflow tank. It's secured with a tie-wrap.

I use a kid's bicycle water bottle. Even found a "Bell" one that doesn't look at all finky. Mounted bracket to side of radiator, removed nozzle with utility knife, ran overflow hose in to about 1/2" from bottom, melted a small hole near the top with a hot nail to vent, and viola, trick looking 20 oz. coolant recovery system that fits a 70 Duster without reshuffling horns, etc (required to put the late-style OEM recovery system in). Reference the Duster pics in "Slixer's Gallery" to see installed bottle).
