Jarvo2 Posted November 7, 2016 Share #5 Posted November 7, 2016 I put a universal on the driver's side in front of the radiator. Works well and prevents messes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksechler Posted November 7, 2016 Share #6 Posted November 7, 2016 Here's a '76. The bottle is on the left next to the hood hinge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zed Head Posted November 8, 2016 Share #8 Posted November 8, 2016 I think that they call them reservoirs. They work more as charging systems, air blows out but coolant gets sucked back in. You have to have the right radiator cap for them to work, with two valves, an in and an out. Dave WM, you might have a Canada car. Apparently they didn't get them. Cooling chapter...

Dave WM Posted November 9, 2016 Share #10 Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) California car, cat converter and EGR on my 75. That and the rad is not drilled for the bottom mount stud located on the bracket that the overflow tank mounts to. I do have one to install but the rad outlet is on the wrong side and I would need to drill the sheet metal on the radiator support, not real sure I want to do all that.

Kurbycar32 Posted November 9, 2016 Share #11 Posted November 9, 2016 I added a slim aluminium overflow can that fit between the radiator tabs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
