What are you guys using for coolant overflow tank?

So what are you sporting? Stock tank? Something custom? Something goofy/novel? Nothing?
Pics of the creative stuff are great for us visualizing-impaired types...
 
I went stealth - 1qt overflow bottle from Jeg's or Summit - mounted low (under the relocated horn)...
Had a built-in drain valve and cost <$20.

Nothing special here. Previous owner thing.

Personally, I kind of like this sort of look. It's clean, simple.

AZ cheapy until I upgrade to an aluminum radiator. Then I'm gonna get a ss tank that mounts to the side of the rad.

If you want it to be a true hillbilly/redneck overflow, it needs to be a beer can or bottle!!

I tried a plastic NOS energy drink bottle so it would look like a mini nitrous system but it shrunk from the heat. It has to be a resealable bottle so when it cools down the vacuum will pull the coolant back into the rad. If you know of a good resealable beer bottle let me know!
 
You can see mine on the far side of the engine compartment. I am using 2 3"*10" overflow tanks. One is for washer fluid and the other is for overflow.

Now you're really taxing my memory. I'll have to go back through my receipts, there's no brand markings on the pump. Hell, it was only 8-9 yrs ago I bought it. Probably a good time to install a new one huh?
 
WTF you talking about?

Application?, it's applied to the cover.

WTF x2! Shouldn't you remove it to get the cam out? What I mean is it's not a stock 289/302 (for these specific engines) waterpump.
 
No, it is not a stock pump. I'll find the receipt and let you know.



:hijacked complete
 
Okay, now that we've got that cleared up... :rofl

Good stuff so far, a nice mix of stealthy and clean stuff...with a, uh, couple of goofies thrown in. :pbj
