Hydraulic reservoir interchange V8 to 200

[Kneale Brownson]

The V8 square reservoir looks like it'll slip into the bracket used for the
round reservoir on 200 models.  On my 200q20v, it looks as though the V8
reservoir would be up against the intake manifold.   The V8 reservoir
interface with the bracket is not centered on the square body.  It's offset
to one side that moves it to the left if looking at the assembly with the
reservoir in front of the bracket.  I don't have time now to take
measurements (about to leave on a trip) but I can check them if you can
wait until Friday.  I'll also be able to look at a 5ktq then to compare
with the 200q20v.
