I remember seeing that on a 50's Buick document:

E.O.H. stands for Excise Overhead Handling :Smarty:

The E.O.H. is only US$ 39.22 in the 1966 Riviera documentation, much lower compared with the prices on the 1955 Buick document.

 

Hi guys, I bought the AZ. 66 shell beige Riviera and can assure you that it is the real deal. BS ST400 code, 3.42 posi rear,
correct MW engine code and casting #s that all add up. The car is painfully original and a really nice runner. I actually drove it back from Scottsdale to Las Vegas.

Welcome to V8Buick !!

 

Was the quick ratio steering standard on 66 GS Riviera models. Is there a code on the gear box to indicate if it is quick ratio? I have a gear box setting on the shelf from a 66 GS and wondering how to advertise it.

 

No and No. I've tried determining the ratio on 66 boxes by counting the lock to lock turns of the input shaft but found the data to be inconclusive based on advertised turns lock to lock of even the standard box. In other words the actual turns did not match advertised on the quick ratio or standard. With the box off the car it will be difficult to tell since the steering linkage stops is what limits the turns.

 

I thoroughly inspected your car just after it was removed from storage and before the dealer you purchased from went over it. I also inspected it again while the most recent auction was running on Ebay. I might be able to convey some worthwhile info if you are interested. Feel free to send a PM. Congratulations, no doubt a very original, relatively low mileage GS, hard to find them this "unmolested". Good luck!
