Chad,
  I don't want to discourage you, but if the cam you refer to looks like 
it should be a 1" bent arm that's attached to a collar, all made of 
plastic, you may have to do some fabrication work.  I tried Holley and a 
local carb shop and the cam is not in production and couldn't be gotten.  
It's the same type that was used on my '68 152 and the '70 196.  I'm 
trying to fab a spare by using a piece of fiberglass plate drilled to 
accept the 'collar' part of the cam that wasn't lost when it broke.  If 
you've still got all the pieces, I used fiberglass resin and some glass 
fibers wound around for support and the fix seems very stout now.  I can 
send you dimensions I wrote down from the original cam if you need them.
HTH,
Myron

On another note, during all the discussion about waterproffing various
drivetrain components,  I've not seen anything mentioned about the
starter.  It seems it would be among the first components to get
submerged.  Is this a concern?
