Coolant overflow bottle
 
Hi
did 68 Camaro with 327 come with a factory coolant overflow bottle ? I am looking to install one and wondering if anyone has any recommendations
Thank you

No it did not but one can be fitted easy enough,they say a 1970's Nova fits nicely and looks factory.

Far as I know they didn't, just an overflow line I believe.. My 68 has a hideous generic one that you can grab in any parts house that was on it when I got it, been looking for something more
subtle that fits behind the front radiator support, suppose I could try to paint it black, really curious what peeps are using!

75 Nova tank. Fits in PS fender. Just drill one hole in fender lip

Its a "coolant recovery" tank (read different from overflow). Like modern cooling system you fill radiator to top and put a few inches of coolant in tank. Engine/coolant heats up (exspands) and will go into tank. When engine cools it draws coolant back into radiator. You need a "closed system" cap. The tank does not come with a cap so have to buy that seperate. I got mine from Summit for around $40

Thanks for that info! Wasn't able to find them online at autozone or oreilly's but will hit up the Napa guys to see if they have good digits on them.. did find these on ebay that look to be that style.
