Okay, this conversion is driving my up the wall big time! I bought a '92 radiator and heater contrl valve, but canot find a coolant recovery bottle to save my life. Do they stock these at any of the auto parts stores( Autozone, O' Reilly's, Advance), if so what do I ask for because nobody seems to know what I'm talking about?!?!

Thank you

Yea they should have a universal tank or you could use the old pressure bottle by putting the line in the bottom but you will have to find a way to down size the neck under it.

I have plans to modify my stocker. Seems easiest to me. I've heard bad things about the quality of the universal ones the part stores sell.

Yeah they've got a Dorman universal for like $30, would that be efficient?

That's why I use the old pressure bottle.
Better off.
