Vance,
I assumed from what you described the engine is in the car. If so I have
had the same problem ( my 50 year old body also let me know get this
done soon ) . I found that with the engine supported only by the engine
mounts it angled down just enough as to not line up. I eyeballed it
before and couldn't see it but it's off. As soon as I put a jack under
the oil pan (gently) & raised the tail end of the engine 1 ot 2 inches
it went in immediately. I usually trust my ability to line things up by
sight but this is deceiving. Give it a try.
