I don't know what to tell you. Just keep jockeying it until you figure out what you need to do. Everytime I hang a door it's just trial and error until I get it. I'm always by myself on this, but I'd bet a helper is a plus.

this is a lost art.. first off are you changing the door due to rust or accident damage ? Was it aligned correctly and you pulled it to do hinges or something. With these answeres I can lead you down the correct path.

#1 these cars are old
#2 not best fit from GM
#3 not only are they old some are plain wore out.

If you are aligning have you messed with the hinges? If you have been messing with the hinges have you put in new bushings and pins? If not, this could be your issue. Worn bushings can cause the door to sag...
