I haven’t checked the assembly manual, but did the Skylark (non GS) cable have:

The extra ground wire?
The part numbers stamped into them?

  The extra ground wire is necessary . That is what completes the circuit for the headlights and parking lamps. I don't recall if they had the numbers stamped into them, but it would seem to make sense that the numbers would be. Also, the Skylark 300 and 225 engines would have spring ring clamps, rather than the bolted style. Buick apparently felt it necessary to use the bolted clamps on the Gran Sports.

A group buy for the 65 GS battery cables is now confirmed and is extended to include reproduction cables for the 66 GS and for the 65 Skylark with 300 V8.  I've created a new thread for indicating interest in these additional applications: http://65gs.com/board/index.php/topic,4790.msg36193/topicseen.html#msg36193

Pricing for the group buy will be confirmed soon.

I've found American Autowire to be good to work with and appreciate their willingness to accommodate the potential needs for other applications among our group.

 :cheers2:

Hey gang,

Sorry it's been so long in getting this moving.  I'm waiting for a quote from American Autowire and then I'll post more details.  Stay tuned!

Sorry for the delay in confirming the battery cable project.  I've been away from home for more than a month.  But I can now confirm that the cables will be priced to you at $150 per set.  In the attachment below is the info I have on those that have indicated interest.  Please reconfirm your desired quantities.  And if anyone else wants in, I'll keep this open until Monday, November 30.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Chuck
