With the car running and in neutral, or not running at all it is difficult to get into gear, which makes me think that itis not a syncro problem.
Any ideas?
Thank You!

Did you switch out the bell housing to anything new like a Lakewood? I ran into a problem like this when I switched to a Lakewood bellhousing that is why I asked. They must be dialed in to work correctly. It does sound like a clutch alignment problem. I assume you never messed with the shifter linkage on the toploader. Is your clutch fully engaging as well as disengaging?
