I just got the 55 buick special I'm building painted, we put a fatman subframe under it. kept the original 322 nailhead. parts are hard to come by and seem to be more expensive then most. I've got a lot of help from this site so if you need help just ask and someone will have answers for you

Welcome.
What sort of diagrams are you looking for? I know they are adding more and more all the time over at Team Buick/Buicks.net...

There is also a message board there. I find that between them and the HAMB, you can find out just about anything. And of course, you'll need a shop manual.

sweet thanks guys, team buick has been very helpful. i am basically looking for diagrams that will show me my vacume hose placement, also the heater core hose aswell. i need to bypass it till i replace it.(leaking)...this is my first rebuild, and i am in way over my head, but damn it feels great when i can say i did it myself...

Here is a GREAT site I enjoy browsing once in a while. You didnt say which Buick motor you had, so I've included both links for the 264 and the 322.
Now these are just the specs, but its more specs than you will probably ever need, so browse the site for other shite ya may need too!!
The 264:
