Re: over flow tank

Here's what I did. Over flow tank and windshield washer all built into one. Pick N Pull on 1/2 price weekend these were in a varity of Ford products. Full size trucks, Explorers, Mercury Cougars, etc., etc. It looked pretty crusty when I bought it. I used the Lowe's cheap version of CLR filled the over flow part with it full stength, let it sit over night then swabbed with a rag & a screw driver followed by a spray of Armorall and it looks new. not to mention it has a built in washer pump and now I have windshield squirters too. Oh, I also got the squirt nozzels off a full size Ford truck too. I had to do a little tweeking on them to get them to spray between the cowl vents and hit the windshield in the right spot but it worked out great for me. The cut of the over flow fits our inner fenders almost perfectly. I did have to move teh horn relay and the voltage regulator to the other side of the radiator support but I was able to use the exact same mounts & mounting holes so I didn't even have to drill any new holes for that part.
