Did you leave the Alternator blower in or pull it out?? Still trying to figure out how you got a coolant reservoir in the fender and still be able to keep an eye on the level. I can see the filler cap in the pic; is it a stock tank from another car or did you fab something up??Last edited by GTP091; 11-29-2008, 01:33 AM.1991 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP / 3.4 DOHC

I left the alternator blower, but moved it over a bit.
I used the coolant reservoir from a Ford Aerostar, cut off the washer tank thats attached, pushed a hose (I think it was a 1/2") , into the tank through the one top hole (a heavy duty thick walled hose that will not kink) pushed it in till it was near the bottom, ran it up to the Rad.
The clear cap and hose adapter that the cap screws onto is taken from a old honda prelude, the best part is that they have a long flexable "coolant dipstick" that I also used to know how full it is. I had to add a second hole to the tank to utillize the remote fill using the aerostar tank.
You could use the entire coolant overflow tank, remote fill cap & dip stick from the prelude but I found the tank way too small, and the hose to the tank too short.
One other thing that you got to do with using the Aerostar coolant tank is adding a fitting to the top and runing a vent hose up the engine compartment where there is no dirt to OR drill a small vent hole in the clear honda adapter.1991 Grand Prix STE

Your engine looks great. Did you move your coil packs up onto the right inner fender? Mine are located on the lower front part of the engine block near the starter. I had a 1990 GP SE with the 3.1 engine in it and they were down there also. I would like to have mine located where yours are now, what's involved in moving them?1995 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP 3.4L DOHC
