Coolant recovery on 68 Cutlass

Jeff, I'm not an expert but I see no one else has responded so I'll give it a shot. First, 235 degrees is pretty hot for an older car and sometimes I would find issues with timing or advance in the distributor especially on Buicks and Oldsmobiles that would effect the running temp. I'm pretty sure we bought recovery kits back in the day which consisted of a recovery tank, hoses, and I think a cap and they may have came from NAPA. The tank was pretty large, at least a quart maybe a little more
