Distributor Not Clearing 351w Edelbrock Airgap??

[badhed]

Hello all,

I am building a 408W and my distributor will not clear my edelbrock airgap. has anyone had a problem with this? I am using an F4TE roller block with a 351w edelbrock airgap I know vic Jr intakes need a special distributor to make it fit but i have not read about anyone having problems with air gaps. some people suggest to grind the intake to make it fit. Would like to hear some more opinions before i grind a 300$+ intake. Thanks

It takes a taller distributor MSD makes it but i can't remember the part number .You can find it on the Summit Racing catalog .

I had the same problem on my 306, I used a Summit brand distributor its snug but it does clear.
