    Welcome to CHR Turbonator, glad you're here. I didn't know it, but ran across this old post that makes it sound like it's common practice for the distributor hole to be oversized - Link to 2006 post Distributor bushing for intake manifold
    Also, it looks like JEGS sells a bushing kit, designed to deal with milled heads, etc dropping the distributor too low, but it also mentions the over-sized hole - JEGS Distributor Shim and Bushing Kit - Free Shipping on All Orders @ JEGS

    Maybe one of the other guys can shed some more light on the best way to solve the problem. I'd probably call Edelbrock and see what they say. I bet you won't be the first to call them with this question, and it would be interesting to hear what they have to say.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
