    I need to buy a 68-69 skylark overflow bottle. I don't have one and need one. Thanks, Ron

    Ron,
    The 68-69's dumped on the ground. I put a 72 tank in my car. Mounts the same as in a 70-72.

    Not factory though. It was a dealer item, and an ugly one at that. Looks like the generic overflows you can buy from many vendors. I'm using one of Frank McIntyre's 70-72 overflows. You can also probably find a yellow, dirty used one for sale pretty cheap.

    68 and 69 had the option of dealer installed 70-72 overflows as per buick bulletin. Frank

    Frank,

    Can you explain that one to me.

    Was this a dealer install item, that could be done later. Meaning after 1970? Or were there parts available before that?

    Dealer installed, after the fact, if requested by the owner, I'm sure. Or you could probably buy it over the counter and install yourself. Regardless, no 68/69 GS/Skylark came out of the plant with one. The dealer could install the ugly square-ish optional tank & mtg bracket available in 68/69, or when the 70+ tank was available, could retro-fit the newer one.
