Overflow Tank

[sixpack_sid]

I am working on my 68 charger 440 BB. I have an aftermarket Champion rad in it. Is there supposed to be an overflow tank bottle in the engine bay? I've been looking on different sites, like Summit, etc but am having trouble finding them.

Not on any factory 2nd gen cars.....just the overflow hose that routes out the bottom through the rad cradle.

I wanted something a little better than the stock setup - something that wouldn't spew coolant on the ground and some tracks require an overflow canister anyway.  This one seems a little pricey for what it is but I got it from Summit:

I would use a recovery tank instead. This way, whatever coolant goes in during expansion will get sucked back in the radiator after it cools back down, just like modern systems.

This Canton one (same design as Mororso) has a sight glass also so you can see what's in there without removing the cap.

If you don't want to spend that kind of cash, Jegs has plastic ones that are much cheaper.

NAPA has one for 7-8 bucks that "looks" like it "could" be kinda/sorta vintage correct-ish in an add on way.

I found one at Auto Zone. Thanks for the replies!
