Default Need a camshaft

Hi guys !

My camshaft is dead, so I need a new one.
The car is a stock 1979 L82 with a MSD distributor, bone stock otherwise.
What should I buy ? I habe to buy the camshaft and the pushrods, but I don't need big power, just the same as before, or a little bit better, but I don't want to have to change everything around (valves, springs, intake, etc...)

Thanks for the advice !

I've had good luck with the summit racing K1102 cam and lifter set. At 89.00 pretty good deal also. You can get the Comp Cams 7812-16 set of pushrods for 30.00. Then all you would need is a cam change gasket set for about 15.00 and you are set. Part number on the gasket set is SUM-G2660.

If it was me, I would add a new timing chain while I had it apart.
