Coolant overflow tank

[zackmoxley]

I ordered a stock coolant overflow tank for my 79 K5 from LMC. They sent me this monster and I can't find a single reference as to where it mounts. Does anyone know if this is the correct piece and if so, where it mounts?

should bolt to core support right next to rad tank . smaller straight nipple with slits gets hose down in it from rad nipple for overflow.

sorry no pics as I play with 81-up style . but have seen a few of yours.

You could have used a Clamato juice jug like the former owner of my suburban did.....HA!

i prefer 1gal washer fluid jug clamped in place of the charcoal canister everyone removes . fits real good in the clamp bracket .

In case anybody wants to know. This is the proper bottle and mounting position

My '82 has had a Prestone jug in place of the missing overflow tank since 2003!..I just drilled a hole in the cap and shoved the hose in it...and used the required extra length zip tie to secure it of course..
