Coolant Can

Re: Coolant Can

Summit, Jegs, pretty much anyplace that sells a wide range of aftermarket parts. However, I doubt youll find one that "just bolts right up". It will most likely require some sort of fab work to install.

Re: Coolant Can

I don't really mind doing my own fab work, just wanted something to take alot less space up and be a bit cheaper like 10~30$

Re: Coolant Can

Check with your local GM dealer for a factory replacement. I just bought a new puke tank for my '89 RS from a Chev dealer here in Cinti and it cost me $24 out the door. The parts guy originally told me they weren't in production any longer (not a big surprise there) but he did a search for warehouse supply and found 'em still in stock. I called him in the morning, and it was shipped to him overnight; I had it on the car the next day.
This was just last week, so I gotta think some are still available.

Good luck! -- Bubba

Re: Coolant Can

thanks, probably get a new jug.. but i'd really like one of these small tubular catch cans, since it takes up ALOT LESS space.

Re: Coolant Can

Why not do the 4th gen coolant/battery tray, if you're looking for something that takes up less space? 5 bucks and one 12mm bolt to remove at the junkyard
