Best place to buy a 1964 330 cu water pump?

Any folks know the best place to buy a 1964 Olds 300cu waterpump? Yes the one that has a bottom pipe on the drivers side (unlike future years, future years its on the left). Want to buy the best rebuilt pump. Tried Supercars unlimited, no answer and the website wont let me specify an a/c car. Ebay has some, anyone know of other sources? Thanks in advance!

Find a good rebuilder and have them do yours. There are no new ones.

Did not catch her name, but she is a 1 in a million. Loves cars and knows so much. Loves to talk parts, part numbers, rare parts!

Arthur Gould Rebuilders has my 330 water pump and will rebuild it. It wasnt leaking, but there was about 1/4 inch play in the end of the pulley shaft! Its the original pump too!

Thats the co that did mine. Only thing i can figure is they took my pump and instead of rebuilding my pump they had Wanda send me a rebuilt or nos pump to speed up the process. It looked new when i got it back in like 10 or 12 days if memory serves me right

Great rebuild job by Arthur Gould Rebuilders in Holden Mass on my 1964 Olds 330 water pump! Turn around time was less than a week, cost was only $135 plus $20 shipping back to me. Take a look at these before and after pics! The pump looks brand new! Amazing job and I will use them again for all my rebuild needs. They even included a water pump gasket set! Used same body and impeller too! In a way this transaction has helped restore my faith in automotive repair industry too!
