Guest R69GS Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I have been told there is a Buick Dealer Service Bulletin covering the addition of a coolant recoverysystem to 1969 Skylark/GS cars. The number I was told is 69-I-104. Can anyone verify any part of this information?Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUICK RACER Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I have some of the Service Bulletins, but not in a position to pull them out to look. From what I know, there was an "accessory" available from the dealer to be used on Buicks, Opel, etc. But the SB says a '70-72 Overflow can be used on a '68-69. so if you might be having the car judged you may want to have a copy, otherwise, get on Ebay and look for an aftermarket if you just wish not to leave hazardous material every time you park it, or there is a repro of the '70-72 available. Hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTX5467 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I there is a GM TSB on that subject, it would probably (as Roberta mentioned) involve retro-fitting a slightly later model item to the earlier models, along with then-current GM part numbers for the parts and any related fasteners. PLUS, a coolant recovery-rated radiator cap!Just some suspicions . . .NTX5467 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest R69GS Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Thank you for your feedback. I have had our GS judged at 2010 Buick Nationals, BCA 44900) and 2012 Central AACA #998880. I have installed a early version (white top) recovery tank with the correct radiator cap. You are correct I think I need a copy of the Service Bulletin allowing this upgrade per Buick. I have looked on e-bay and various forums looking for someone selling thier collection of Service Bulletins with no luck. I hate to ask, but can you look when you have time to look for the bulletin? I'm willing to compensate you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
