Default Plastic Coolant overflow tank?? 1966

I thought I saw a nifty semi-clear plastic overflow 'bottle' that hangs form the 2 hooks on the inner fender. Anyone know what I am referring to?? Where to buy??
Thnx

I use an empty plastic quart oil bottle. It is zip tied to the corner of the radiator and sits on the frame by the horn. Drill a hole in the plastic oil bottle lid. Stick the overflow tube in the plastic quart bottle and be sure it extends to the bottom of the plastic bottle. Replace the radiator cap with the coolant recovery cap. You can also add the extra gasket making the original cap capable of drawing the coolant back into the engine as the coolant cools down. The plastic oil bottle can be easily removed when needed for car shows that want to see everything all original.


Coolant recovery will keep oxygen out of your block and help in preventing rust from happening in the block.

Unless you're in a financial position where you have to jerk off to feed the chickens, there are stainless setups that look much better for only 20.00 or so.
