pre-71 B bodies  ! what if anything (aside from the chrome tube thingy from Summit) are people using?? I would really like to do this but have it sorta look like it belongs there.
I think this is a pretty good read, explains the 2 different systems of radiator recovery.
I think the conventional vented recover is best for our old cars because we usually don't have room to mount the pressurized type recovery tank above the radiator.
Read this.

Bolt this tucked up under your passenger front fender to the fender bolt that protrude underneath it. You can use longer than stock fender bolts. Then run a long overflow hose through a existing inner fender or radiator support hole. Next paint the whole bottle semi flat black to match the underside of the fender. No one will notice.

Mike I use the wiper tank for my overflow on my cuda. Just hook hose to the bottom of tank and then you MUST drill a hole in the top rear of the tank to keep it from air locking. Works great and no one even knows it's being used this way. In 5 years use it has never had any problems. And yes that cap will work. Mike
I also converted the washer bottle on a 70 'Cuda to a recovery system and it works great. A breather hole is not required as the stock flip caps are incapable of holding a vacuum.
