Default 1998 Coolant Tank
The nipple broke on my tank and I need to replace it. Specifically looking for a 98 with the appropriate sensor. Apparently later model tanks sensors don't play nice with the 98.

all the sensor is for level of coolant, I used a dorman,(very heavy duty) and just put a jumper wire in the connector, GM must thought it wasn't needed so they quit using the sensor in 2000 or so !!!!

Default Aluminum
The Corvette central catalog has an all aluminum tank for a little bit more than the plastic tanks.

But it doesn't have a slot for the OEM coolant level sensor so it would have to be deleted anyways.
