I am going to install a new 3 bolt 60303 voodoo hydraulic flat tappet cam in my 440 and am wondering if I need a cam button and locking plate? I have been using a single bolt cam for years without either of these parts so curious if I need them now with the 3 bolt? Looking in summit they only sell locking plates for Chevys so maybe it's not a mopar thing?

You only need a cam button with a roller cam. as far as the locking plate goes, NO, you don't need one. I use Loctite on the bolts though.
