Default Radiator Recovery Tank

Just got a quick question for everyone. Is there such thing as a Radiator Recovery Tank for a 1967 camaro. I just got a 67 and there is just a drain tube that goes down to the bottom of the radiator and once the motor gets hot and I stop the radiator drains out all over the ground. I know that was just how it was done back in the day, but just wondering if anyone has got a recovery tank and if so where did you get it? I have found them for later model camaro's but not one for the first generation camaro's.

I have a moroso black plastic kind, blends in very well. ARe you going for a stock look? If not there is aluminum ones that look really good as well.

I have one I got at Kragen Auto Parts, other parts places sell them also. I cant remember how much I paid, but I know it wasn't over $30

On some older cars go to a windshield washer tank off of a mid 80's chevy van. Run the line to it and mount it wherever. Works well and is small enough for tight spaces. Hit a salvage yard and take the tank and mount, they are easy to get too right up front and top.

I did it on my Apache and you can't tell it is suppose to be a washer tank.

Like others, the aftermarket Moroso and BeCool work just as well. I did a Moroso on the Camaro and they fit so nice and easy you hardly notice them.
