Default Coolant Reservoir question.
Anyone could show me a picture of what a 1973 Corvette 454 Coolant Reservoir supposed to look like?

Thanks

'73s have a one year only part, not being reproduced. All engine options used the same tank.

No, that is something you pick up at autozone. Did you look at the link I provided, it would look similar to that.

You need that service replacement reservoir, the cap, two bolts/screws and two rubber hoses. Everything is available.

BTW: is the cap the white one with the two hoses fittings side by side?

This is the tank out of a 73 454. Notice how the rear of the tank is indented to fit over the one year only hump on the 73 wheel well.
I do have extra tanks and caps, if interested, send me a PM.
