Welcome to the site. Someone familiar with the 330 will chime in with the part or point you in the right direction. It helps if you post your location that way someone close might have what you need

Welcome aboard
2blu442 will help you out if he can , like a lot of the guys on this site he is very helpful. Getting the used version would be cheaper of course but you should check it out good cause you may need other things. The good part is that Washington and Oregon are not far apart.

2blu442 is a stand up guy and will give you a good deal on the parts you need. I have bought from him as have many others on the site and parts are not the heavy so the postage should not be the high. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress

Thanks wmachine. In early 1964 the 330's were made with the old shaft style rocker arms which were cast. In the middle of the production year GM changed to stamped pedistal type. So I'm hopin' somebody does have the right part. if blu442 has 1965 330 they are stamped.

Hello Jim
Is this the style of rockers you need? If so, I'll pull the bridges in the next couple evenings, clean them up then pick out the best one to photograph for you. They look rusty, but it's a powdery stuff that I could wipe off with my fingers so until I wash them off with solvent I'm not sure what it's done to the metal. John
