I took the combination washer fluid bottle/radiator overflow bottle assembley from a 91 Ford Explorer and put it in where my Charcoal canister used to be.

I think it really cleans up the engine compartment.
also in this pic you can see i have removed most of my A/C and i have also removed the smog pump and rerouted the serpintine belt.

Good idea.

 

Does that have the integral pump? That looks like the ticket for my Chevelle if it does.

 

Thats a very good idea, Im going to have to do that

 

nice...................very nice

 

That seems like a hell of a idea. Since they are on 2 different side of the bay, do you just run a longer hose???

Yes the washer pump is installed in the bottle itself.

I did have to run a longer hose for the radiator overflow bottle from the passenger side,the hose for the washer fliud bottle was a larger diameter than the stock one so i did have to replace all the hose.

 

how was it bolted in? i have the SLP dual cold air kit and maybe i can mount that under the floor where you have it with alumium straps or something so no one can see it. does the overflow have to be equal or higher then the radiator cap

 

My batt is on the side that you have yours mounted on. I would just have to figure it out. :-) Basicly the same thing just different side. I think the next pay day ill be lookin for this.


Great Job!!!
Jesse

 

Wow that looks clean i will be the next to do that mod.

 

I likes, I likes!!

 

I have to tell ya, when I clicked into this topic I was like "WTF? This is gonne be retarded.", but after seeing those pics, I was like "Damn, I gotta get me a tank from a 91 Frod Exploder!". Nice work man!!!

 

Thanx for the compliments guys.

i have also seen the same bottles in full size F-150's not sure on the years though

bottledZr28-it bolts with two 10mm self tapping screws on each side on the top, i just put 2 holes into my core support on htat side and bolted it up.

 

Typically coolant overflows have a overflow for themselves. Mounting one below the radiator might cause a syphoning effect and drain the overflow each time it purged. Best to keep it close to level with the cap. cheers, Bob

 

Hey, how hard is it to remove the a/c and smog pump?

 

Ford parts?!?!?!? ACK!

 

That looks great. I'll have to do that in the near future.
