ejw71 Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 My 71 454SS has a radiator overflow catch can. Suspect it's an aftermarket item. Did radiator overflow to ground through a rubber tube that was attached just below cap or was a catch can used?

Guest Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 First generation M/Cs did not have a coolant recovery system standard. When the coolant level rose, any excess would drain to the ground through the tube you referenced. A coolant recovery system was a dealer-installed option for our cars. The recovery bottle's holder bracket mounts to the right inner fender well. I picked up one of these GM accessory kits a couple years ago. The kit also includes a different radiator cap. ------------------ Mike '72 Monte Carlo Custom '74 Buick Regal '99 Olds Aurora Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
