Aluminum coolant overflow tank
Any interest in one of these?? Would replace the stock tank on the passenger fenderwell. Perfect for alky kits!

There is one other thing to think about. How are you going to install a sending unit for low Alky?

i looked into those from Canton Racing "many moons" ago but like mentioned beforehand my methanol addiction doesnt allow the use of aluminum Canton does make great product though....kinda pricey but good nonetheless.

Already HAS a sight glass on it. Doubt if people are going to want it just for coolant though. Was hoping it would work with alky but didn't realize it would corrode aluminum. Will see about stainless for these.

Why wouldn't this fit on a Turbo Regal? Thought only the driver side inner fenderwell was different?

The mounting tabs do not line up. It may not work on a n/a regal also. I will pull it back out and try it again.
