'72 "U" code Cutlass Supreme. Heavy duty cooling with A/C...is this the correct coolant reservoir? I've seen others that are different that mount with a bracket, but could this be correct for my car because of the evap canister?

That is not the correct reservoir. At some point, Olds began offering a kit for customers complaining of overheating. I think maybe it was then standard on BBO A,B, C bodies only. Your car should probably have one to be correct.

The reservoir, which Fusicks reproduces, amongst others, is plastic, uses a bracket. It has a non-pressurized double nipple cap, and one hose goes to the radiator, then lower into the reservoir on the inside, and the other one is an overflow hose going overboard.

Dave, check your other thread. I sent you some information to review.

Is that rad cap fully tightened? I thought the red stripe aligned with the overflow nipple.
