Just dropped in a NOS overflow bottle in my 84 Eldo Convertible. Getting her ready for the Grand Nationals in Saint Augustine, Florida. It pays to save NOS stuff. Oh, who said you can't reuse crimp clamps?

That is something I added (along with a fan shroud) to all my older
cars.  Really glad I did, saved my coolant several times.  Bruce Roe

Bruce, how did it save your coolant? I don't understand... :-\

Ed, the time I remember best, I was driving a 68 350 Cutlass.  It was very hot around
Boulder Dam, running the A/C, the car was doing OK.  When parked to take the tour,
extra engine heat will temporarily go to the coolant.  I could hear the coolant bubbling,
and it filled the recovery tank almost to the top.  Later the car cooled off, and all that
coolant went back into the cooling system. 

Without the overflow recovery tank, that coolant would have gone onto the pavement
and been lost.  Bruce Roe
