Make sure you are at #1 cylinder TDC compression stroke and then turn it to 25 degrees ATDC then drop the cam sensor assy in. You will have to turn the oil pump shaft to get the cam sensor aligned with it,in order for the cam sensor to seat fully and for the gears to mesh together. The window of the reluctor ring will be facing toward the drivers side headlight when it is seated fully.It is a good idea to lube the o-ring on the cam sensor housing to make it easier to slide in,i also put grease on the cam sensor gear to help with installation.

Make sure to follow the procedure on vortexbuicks and you will be good to go.
