The bad news (or good news depending on how u look at it) is I can now remove
my gearbox out of the car by myself in 25 min. Found out the cam was on
correctly. Turns out the roller at the top of the oil pump was jammed and
pushed back. It was tweeked enough to jam the pump in the down position. It
probably did that when i was having trouble getting the OD on the gearbox the
first time. I pushed the roller assembly forward and the pump now moves
freely. The roller has a gash in it probably from hitting the cam at the funky
angle. Should I grind the roller down to smooth again or is a new one
available? thanks.

There are only a couple of things that it may be.
1. The cam on the main shaft is either missing or installed backwards
2. The pump piston got bent when you were installing the overdrive.
You will need to pull the pump out and then see if the piston moves
up and down freely.
