much appreciated

'76 was the year that the overflow bottles changed from the triangular bottle that sat inside the bracket surround off the radiator support to the bottle mounted on the inner fender using that folded bracket. Photos show both types in 1976.

Here's a '74 showing earlier type:

Here's a '76 showing newer type:

And a link showing all 3 repro bottles for 2nd Gen Firebirds, very early must be different again. Realistically, the middle repro bottle is from memory a '79 bottle, it obtained an extra tab off the base to mount the inner fender for improved support. Easy to cut off or drill extra hole, whichever way you want to go, must have had a few crack in that area over the first few years:

Agreed....'76 was a crossover year for the jugs as well as the fender-to-core support bars...some had the narrow, some had wide, and some '76's got none at all.

Pick what you like and run with it...or base your choice off your build-date

thanks for the confirmation
