Time has come for me to re-install my heating system, Only to find that the 1975 model year was a factory fluke! They updated it to the brass tank and several other fittings. I am in need of a brass expansion tank with bracket and cap if anyone does have so. Also a rare thermostat housing that was only used as a dealer installed replacement (With a tee fittingout the back) I am think I may drill and tap mine or make an alumium block under the thermostat and tap that, but if anyone has any of these parts laying around please contact me.
 
actually I alreday decided that. I odered a moros exp tank, moroso catch can and figured I can adapt a later model thermo housing neck. (Waiting for a reply phone call from a local salvage) Should work good when all is done
 
When I got my 75 I wanted to keep it as historically correct as possible. The original radiator wasn't on the car so I ordered the 75 radiator. The midget didn't have any of the "fix it items" outlined in the catalogs to address the overheating issue of the 75.

Well for most of the Summer I struggled with overheating during hill climbs and traffic. What a pain. I tried a ton of stuff and eventually just ended up replacing the radiator with the 76 and newer model one. I haven't had problems since. So if you run into problems you might consider doing that.
