Yeah I was gonna have a look for some newer adaptable ones from a GM car in the yards. I also want to clean up the vaccum lines in some fasion where they are not so messy. Also hope to put some braided coolent lines later on.

What I am planning on doing when I get around to it is swapping to a 4th gen coolant reservoir and and wiper fluid tank.

Pics of said swap are here, http://www.ms-fbodies.com/jade_ta.htm, credit to shr00m for the work!
