Re: Overflow..
a good option is to not overfill your radiator and have a good radiator cap

Re: Overflow..
Yup, if you keep filling it all the way to the top it will dump a quart on the ground every time you drive it. You really don't need the overflow.

Re: Overflow..
Here are a few pics of overflow tanks I've collected:
    In the last 2 pics one is a radiator overflow tank and the other one is the windshield washer fluid container.

Re: Overflow..
If you want the radiator to draw the coolant back in when needed, you'll need a later model radiator cap.
