Coolant reservoir tank differences

Hi all,

after a huge mistake that i made i bought, for a friend with a 1990 firebird V6, a reservoir tank for 82-88 models.

Now i was wondering... what's the difference between the two tanks? Can't him try to adapt that tank to his car or i should buy him a new one and keep the other as a memento to pay more attention in the future?

Thanks

I ordered the small tank for my 89. Has completely different mounting points.

You can't return the tank? If you cant return it, I would sell it and buy a correct tank. Just not worth the effort to mod it.
