Are you saying that the cam in the distributor isn't turning? Did you check the screw to make sure it was tight? The cam is driven from the oil pump through two shafts and they are keyed together. There is no way that those will break in normal use. If the screw at the top of the cam isn't tight or the washer is missing, the cam won't turn with the shaft.
