First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... Thanks Everyone! I looked the bottle over, found a U.S. Patent, Googled it, and you were all correct. That said, feel free to take a look at US Patent 4677943 - Automotive non-pressure cooling system, US Patent Issued on July 7, 1987. Whereas it provides a solution for my dilemma with the puking, I am stumped with where to place it as there is no known precedent - bothered by the fact that my Bird is otherwise visually correct throughout.
