Has anyone ever had problems trying to adjust Timing with the Big Mouth Manifold as far as clearance?

Car: '89 Formula
Engine: 355 TPI
Transmission: T56
Axle/Gears: 3.70 9 bolt.
I got an edelbrock which is what the big mouth starts off as before they port the heck out of it.
Problem I had was with the position of the distributor. There is a high pad on the driver's side of the manifold which interferes with the bottom of the screw for the distributor cap.
My solution was to re-install the distributor so that the electrical connectors
were pointing straight towards the back of the car. That way I had more room to move the distributor around. Previously the connectors were pointing toward the master cylinder.
