I am having trouble finding this part. Where should I go?

docbum

Is this called an expansion tank?

How much Ed?
Also what are my other options. My car is modified- I have a 350 engine in there and obviously originality is out the door.
thanks

Long Island Corvette Supply (www.licorvette.com) has dated tanks available for $150 (section 24).

Long Island only sells midyear parts. You should order their catalog, if for no other reason, the exploded drawings. Oveall they are reasonable in pricing and I have found their quality and service to be very good.

P.S. When pricing is close, I buy from Long Island because it would be a shame for this family owned source of midyear parts to ever go out of business. Unsolicited comment.

Thanks Ed. I will let you know soon. I am thinking about getting one from summit as aftermarket.

Thanks for the responses. I ordered an aftermarket from Jegs for $16. It is a recirculating tank. This car lets out fluid in just a few minutes from start up. I hope it's not a bigger problem.

Geez docbum,I think you are making a mistake buying that generic tank.Cooling system on a midyear is hard enough to get working correctly anyway.When you throw in a $16 plastic part and try to make the system work correctly anything could happen.Tom DeWitt is the manufacturer of those tanks,up here in Michigan,and he does the correct reproduction radiators as well.They are both flawless and cut your chances of overheating to "0".You have a valuable car there whether you have the original engine or not.Treat it like its valuable and it will treat you well in return!!!!!!!!!!!.............Bill S
