Can anyone give me the exact position/coordinates for the location of the radiator overflow tank bolt hole on the rear passenger side of the engine compartment?

Re: sec. gen. radiator overflow tank
that sounds like an aftermarket tank, the factory one
is mounted on top of the upper radiator support with one
hose clamp.

The crossflow radiator uses a surge tank on top of the radiator,,,,the downflow has a bottle like next to the oil filter,,,,,

Yes Donivan65! I think I have a "downflow" radiator and I remember the tank on that side of the engine compartment but I thought it was further back closer to across from the dipstick roundabouts. Any idea exactly where that bolt hole goes?

Hmm. My 68 doesn't have a puke can(6 cyl originally, downflow), and my 69 didn't(V8, crossflow), and neither did the 70(6 cyl, crossflow).

That would be the GS series- six cylinder. That's how my 68 is set up.

I think if they were factory, they would of come in around 1969 and 70,,,,,,
