What is this part? Plastic Reservoir...
Hey all,
I'm getting ready to invest in a 1984 T/A that the owner is telling me needs a few things (understandably).
He says the " plastic reservoir that captures runoff from the radiator" needs to be replaced.
Now I had an 85 TA in the past, but can't for the life of me figure out what he means. Can any of you shed some light, or point me to a part number? Also cost for me to replace assuming its not too difficult.
It also needs an Alt belt and has a small trans leak.

I'll check with O'Reilly and Auto Zone to see if they carry it also since we dont have a Pontiac Dealership anywhere near.

Any GM dealership can get it for you, the same tank is used on both f-bodies.
