Can always go with the aluminum coolant overflow tanks offered by Archie at GN1 Performance (www.*******************) and Mark H. at TR Custom Parts (TR Custom Parts 84-87 Turbo Regals, Olds G-Body Cars, S-10 Blazers/Pickups)
$99.00 at either vendor.

This is a GN1Performance "CYLINDER STYLE RADIATOR OVER FLOW TANK" for a 1986 or 1987 Buick Grand National, T Type, Turbo T, or GNX 3.8 liter turbo V6. This tank is perfect for those of you guys out there who are running alky systems, and need an overflow tank in another spot. The tank mountS directly to the core support. This item also features a clear tube on the side of the tank to allow you to monitor the level of fluids in it.

Doesn't look like you can add fluid to it or subtract??

Use what you already have, the wiper bottle, just run a hose across the top of the cooling fan support/bracket than over to the wiper bottle and use a plastic reducer fitting somewhere on the driver side to hook it up to the bottle and take that stainer screen off so it won't plug up.

Everything will still look "OEM" ; and how many times do you really use the washer anyway? After the fluid level has stabilized I keep mine about half full.

X2 Use the washer resivor for coolant and coolant resivor for Alky.

Speaking of tanks, I wonder who makes some nice ALUMINIUM antifreeze and windshield washer replacements? I've seen some nice ones on a car that was for sale on Ebay, but dunno where they're from...

I just relocated it to the drivers side fender. It sits perfectly under my intake and out of the way. Nobody even notices it.

I painted the one in the kit black & mounted it up under and behind the air dam. I use food coloring in the alcohol and everything is hidden.
