Those cars with the chevy V8`s ate camshafts, usually toast in first year.

The 305 "soft" cams, I dont know if the case hardening was to thin in that era or what.
It wasn't the cam it was the ****ty blend in the oils. I've got an 81 305 with the oem cam. It lasted because it's only had straight weight oil ran in it. It sits for extended time between starts also.
We did put a ****load of cams in tho.
