Default Radiator Expansion Tank

I have a Coolant tank for my radiator, but I can't find any place at all to put it?

Right fender in front of heater fan. Should be brackets on the inner fender.

If the car was in a collision then you may want to look at the same year car and see what is needed.

I converted mine to the tank style (26" rad. to 27 1/2" rad.)

When I tried to fit the short Alum. style......no bueno :nonod:
A/C cars just don't have the stinkin' room for a small beer keg. :lol:

Sooooooo......I had to go with the long, brass type and now it fits snug by the inner front fender diagonally. :thumbs:

That one uses a plastic coolant recovery tank. It goes on the rh rear inner fender. It is a tight squeeze with a/c.
