Why would a new camshaft distributor gear drive on 360 amc wear out in just a few 100 miles?

The gear it is riding against is worn. If the gear on the cam wears out, the problem is with the gear on the distributor and vice versa. I have blown 3 gears off my distributor in the last five months. I finally pulled the front cover and found the cam gear is wasted.

What would make the camshaft on your 350 Chevy move in and out when you turn the distributor?
That is because of the way the gear on the distributor and camshaft is tapered. If you turn it the other way it will pull the camshaft towards the rear of the engine. That is all normal. When you put it all together it won't do that.

That engine does not have a cam sensor. It still has a distributor. If the engine is not firing then I would replace the ignition module that's in the distributor under the cap.

The Model and Year of Jeep and engine size is required information for a specific answer.The Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP or sometimes CPS) is located on the transmission bell housing.The Camshaft Position Sensor ( sometimes called the Camshaft Pickup or CPS) is located inside the distributor. If your Jeep has the coil-on-plug distributor-less ignition, it still has a Camshaft Sensor in the same location as the distributor would be located.

What is a camshaft senor?
dont need it booboo If you don't need it why would the manufacture spend thousands of dollars developing and installing it. Answer- The camshaft and crankshaft sensors take the place of the ignition distributor, it tells the engine controller when to send a signal to the ignition coils that fire the spark plugs. No camshaft signal no start.

Where is the camshaft position sensor located on a 1997 Chevrolet K 3500?
Inside the timing chain cover there is a crank position sprocket and a sensor that connects into the side of the timing chain cover. There is also a sensor in the distributor(this is the camshaft position sensor). The connector faces the firewall. To setup your timing you have to rotate the distributor to 0 deg or you will get a P1345 code. A timing light won't help. If you don't have the right equipment you need to take it to the dealer or keep adjusting the distributor until the code goes away. Jon
