Great pics Dan, It looks perfect!
.... I see a rubber boot on the battery cable junction block/horn relay. I've never seen that before. Was that originally on our cars?

I've had a couple of 65 Gran Sports that have had that. I put it back on my Champagne / red hardtop, since it was there originally.

Have to credit Mark Ascher for that find. Fusick Olds sells them. They are for use with the Little Fuse horn relay.

Thanks guys! Found the repo on the Fusick site:
http://www.fusickautomotiveproducts.com/prodinfo.asp?number=BCC648
Added it to my list!

More research:
Original pn is 2984681, group 2.815, 'COVER, HORN RELAY AND JUNCTION BLOCK INSULATING', 1965-68 ALL (Olds)
I don't see it listed in my '66 parts book, but it is listed in the '73 parts book for '64 Buick  40-41-42-4300 series.

Perfect!  Thanks.  Interesting that your coil is horizontal.  Mine is vertical in the same location.

Well, I guess I have another part to order from Fusick.  Just got my washer fluid jug the other day.  I bet I could've built another car just on shipping charges.

Don't forget to order the inner fender wire harness straps - WHF05 on page 35. Need 3 of these.

I find myself in need of a fuel filter bracket. The one that goes on the water neck. Anybody know where they can be obtained?


Thanks.

You'll need to find a used one, but they are not hard to find as they are not GS specific.
Engine looks great. Spray bomb the PS pump fill cap and fan spacer dull aluminum.
