I want to go with the later style overflow tank (pressurized) using GM part nos. 14070997 and 15630112. I am looking for pics of anyone's engine bay that has done this already, or something similar.

Here's three different views of mine. Not photos specifically of the setup, but you can see how it looks.

Oh.....BTW, the radiator cap is part number 10409635.

Thanks for the photos, that looks nice.

So do I have the wrong part # for the cap listed above, or is this a 3rd item I will need for doing this?

15630112 is the coolant tank cap. They sell it separate from the tank.

Dan,

I just ordered the tank also. How did you mount it to the fender well? Do you have a picture of that?

Thanks in advance.

You'll have an extra mounting "leg" on the right side. Simply trim it off (without getting into the reservoir). You can almost see where it was in the second photo above. That will leave you with two mounting points. I used pretty good size sheet metal screws to anchor it to my steel inner fender. I also slipped a couple of large rubber washers from my misc. parts bin (about 1/4" thick) between the plastic tank and the fender.
