I just got a new one from the dealer, and it looks slightly different from my stock 85 one. Did they change the appearance or give me the wrong one?

What's different about it? Do the p/n's match?

 

I can only recall offhand seeing two different kinds. The 82-87 (88?) were a little smaller and slightly more roundish (v-belt equipped cars) and the 88(89?)-up had a slightly larger, more square style (serpentine equipped). My old 84 camaro lg4 had the same overflow as my 87 tpi 'bird. The only thing that was visable different was the tank caps.
Not sure if there were any other tanks aside from those two types.

 

Dunno if this will help but if you look at the left side of this picture



you can see my absolutely LOVELY coolant tank (I'll replace it someday, since it doesn't blend in with the nice clean new engine as well as it did with that nasty 305 in the pic ) Anyway, that's the stock '84 coolant tank....I don't know what the others look like, but that's what mine looks like

sorry to hi-jack your thread, but would somethin like this work? or not because it wouldnt be able to suck coolant back in the system? i hate the way the over flow tank looks.

 

P/N for the tank matches the invoice:

10170175

It is like deadbird described: slightly larger and more square style.

Is it the right p/n?

EDIT: Just did a little searching of my own. Looks like its the 88-92 style. Is it compatible with my system?

 

If the p/n's are the same as the bird, which they may be, here are the p/n's at my site:
