I finally started to put my 360 together after 3 years of sitting. And in that matter of time and 5 moves i lost random small parts. I cant find any stock camshaft keys anywhere and i don't want the 80 dollar mopar kit. my only other option is to rob a junk yard motor. anyone know where i can get a cam key?

I thought I saw an package of them at O'reillys in the help section.

You could also go to home depot as they have them in the hardware section in the bins...just gotta measure what size you need.

The local ACE Hardware store has them in the nut and bolt aisle.

Actually, I took mine out of a V6 last week at the yard, do to similar circumstances.


I don't even have 1/2 lift, but the other 1/2 is nitroused.

I have seen them on ebay. Here is a auction but I have seen them cheaper.

Yes this is the truth! I laughed the last time I was there because just a week before that I went nuts trying to find one. They have all kinds of useful little gizmos in that hardware aisle man.

$80 for the mopar offset keys! That's crazy.
I think I paid less than $20 for the kit back in the 80's. On the otherhand, in the 80's/90's the MP electronic ignition kit was only around $80-$90.

The Dorman part number for a 360 is 595-061. Call a real parts store and see if they have 'em lying around. Surprisingly enough, there are 19 in my keyway drawer. Btw the crank key p/n is 595-078.
