Csx 2492

[JeepSnake]

Thought I'd post a photo or two of this car. It was out for the charity car show my employer puts on every fall. Never did get to meet the owner, but I made about 70 photos of various details, e.g. grille design, street-type expansion tank, fresh air vents in the footboxes, gauge arrangement, etc.

Does anyone know what application the 289 street style expansion tank (shown in photo) came off of? Posts on Club Cobra indicate that it came off Thunderbirds, Lincolns, or Mercurys. But, I've looked at all those tanks, and they all bolt to the t-stat housing and have the upper radiator hose connected to them. This tank bolts to the head with a bracket, and has only three connections: 1) 5/8" or 3/4" hose nipple for connecting to the water pump, 2) small nipple for bleed line on top of radiator, 3) overflow nipple in the filler neck. (In other words, it has the same connections as the round Harrison tank used on the racing cars.)
