Need Radiator overflow specs please

[Dan95-5.0]

i want to replace that ugly looking radiator overflow tank and bracket with something a little more sleek looking.

this is the style that i want to get but i need some info regarding the stocker first.

View attachment 402535

how much does the stock tank hold?

how long is the stocker (from the top of the cap to the bottom)?


also, i have to disable the low coolant light because it wont work with my new overflow tube. i've read that i can just unplug the connector on the overflow cap and i wont get the ligh on the dash? True or False?

thanks for the help guys.

i'll post up some pics this spring when i put it in.

Why not just put something like this in the fenderwell or somewhere and get it out of the engine bay altogether?

Dan, great thread my man. I was checking things out earlier while trying to figure out how to do a cowl FP gauge without any hole making ). I want to put a bottle in the passenger fenderwell but cant figure out how to access it decently.

FWIW, IIRC some folks have used the windshield washer reservoir. I think they even said the low coolant sensor can be stuffed in there. Just something to ponder.

Oh, my thing is that the stock bottle holds a ton of fluid. Most of the cheaper generic alum versions don't hold much.

Good luck.

+1 about the windsheild washer reservoir. There was a write of someone doing this. IIRC it was 95snoozer who had a good thread about it.

let me know the specs on the one you have and how much. send me a PM.



i would measure my stock one but the car is in storage right now and i dont have access to it. otherwise i would be all over that.



i like that idea of using the washer reservoir but i would still like to be able to use the washer fluid even tho i dont remember the last time i did LOL

the biggest i have seen is 50oz


the amount of room i have in my fenders wont be enough to put one because of all the wiring i stuffed in there.


looking at the Canton fox tank from that link posted above, the dimensions are 13.75" H x 3.25" W x 2.5" D so i'll look for something close to that


thanks for the help guys

i believe the stock one is a 1 1/4 gallon, since 1/2 gal. fills to between hot/cold fill level. i took myne off to put in a new radiator in.
