Stop yelling at us!

I have the same issue with my '72 Luxury LeMans. I was recently thumbing through some issues of High Performance Pontiac Magazine and noticed that a '73 Firebird had one mounted on the inner fender and it appeared to resemble a windshield washer reservoir. This is what I am going to do with my car. I may have the model I saw it on confused but a quick search of a parts catalog should provide us a part number if anyone has a catalog.
Too rich for my blood but any model reservoir would work. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-RADIATOR...item4611fe0d22

My Lemans had a recovery tank when I bought it. It looked stock.

Don't have a pic of it installed, but this is it. I think it was right in front of the windshield washer fluid tank, front passenger side.

I have a windshield washer bottle mounted but I use it to wash the windshield.

Thanks ordered the firebird tank going to install see what happens

If the radiator is at the proper level you won't loose anymore coolant after the engine was at operating temperature. No tank on my GT-37 and it does not mark it's spot with coolant.

Ok guess then boil over is from too much coolant I was afraid it would be boil over and then be low so no need to keep filling going to try overflow tank though as someone placed a firebird one just have to see where as its not much space under hood

Had this pic on file (not mine), maybe from this forum. Was going to do overflow tank but just dealing with the occasional boil over
