So is the correct procedure to connect the freq gen to pin5?

No. If you connect the sg to pin5 it will stop the oscillator from working.
Connect to the grid cap on the 6A7.
At this point you'll want to connect the sg to the grid cap on the 6A7 then adj the IF trimmers for max with the sg turned down low so you can just hear it. After you get the IF trimmers on the back lip of the chassis peaked up connect the sg to the ant post and adj trimmer5 for minimum signal.This completes the IF alignment. Glad to help out!

Now I think I've got!
