Did the '64s have them?
Tags:
The 64 did not come stock with an overflow tank
Not at all sure when they started to do that
Enjoy
I believe it was introduced in 1969.
Thanks guys. 1969 is what I seem to remember as well.
Guess I'm not going to be installing one on my '64, since it's a concours car. It runs cool and doesn't need it, but an overflow tank is just something I like to have on cars.
I do not have a Concours car and think an overflow tank would be a great idea. Would this draw coolant back into the rad when it cools? Or would this be purely to catch it and keep it from hitting the ground?
Any good ideas about how to facilitate adding a reservoir/expansion tank?
Yes to both your questions.
Super easy to mount. I'd put it on the driver-side of the engine compartment.
Two mounting holes will need to be drilled.
Remove the factory overflow hose (it's at the radiator cap) and run a new, longer hose to the bottle. The "exit" side of the bottle will need a similar rubber hose going from the tank to the bottom of the car.
I'd look for a nice condition vintage Cadillac bottle. Something from the '70s, so the patina and shape are more like what would've been used if it was standard in our era. 1969 was the first year that Cadillacs had them.

I found a diagram that illustrates the main factor in determining a spark plug heat range that I was trying to describe to you during the chapter get together.
Here it is:
The main factor is the length of the ceramic insulator from the middle of the spark plug to the tip (where the spark happens)
The insulator…

Good Morning all!
I took the 64 into the shop to have some adjustments completed and in the process decided to have the lower ball joints replaced as was recommended the last time I had it in. I ordered the parts and came into the shop. They quoted me nearly $500 to replace those lower ball joints requiring nearly 4hrs of labor. Now this is a reputable shop and they know me by name here and they will continue to get my business. I am just questioning what on earth is…
