cam locking problems

Yes basically just kept turning the pulley, with trying to fit the cam lock and the pin at the same time. It really was a matter of micro-inches for everything to fall into place. It did take several tries though.

Thank you so much. What took you an hour took me 90 minutes.
That was not fun doing alone. I had to rotate crank in the backseat and then get under car and try to fit the cam lock over and over. There was almost no room to fit the lock from the backseat, so under car was easier. A small tap with a dead blow and it slid in. I then lined up tdc mark on pulley by 2 degrees and the pin slid in.
Thank you all.
I hope getting the transmission back in will be easier
