Default HELP...DIZZY PROBLEM

Guys I need help. My motor is back togeather and ready to rock. Except the Dizzy will not go in???? Dont ask me I dont understand y. But it will not. Does anyone have a picture down the dizzy hole in the block so I can see where the cam gear is in relation to the hole for the oil pump shaft? Thanks any ideas or help would be great.

The oil pump shaft might be misaligned/misindexed .....you might want to try rotating the engine while you wiggle the dizzy.
