Default Fuel Rail to dizzy clearance

Hey all I am installing a trick flow fuel rail kit on my 95gt. I am having problems with the driver side rail wanting to hit the dist. the only way to avoid this is to shim the mounts with washers to angle the rail away from the dist.(The instructions say todo this). However, this is causing the injectors not to seat correctly due to the odd angle it puts them at and causes the orings not to seal. Has anyone else ran into this problem? Is there a distributor out there with a smaller diameter designed to avoid this extremely frusterating problem? You would think after spending 500 dollars on the fuel rail that it would fit perfect.....

PS: the intake and injectors are trick flow also.

I ran into a similar issue installing a trick flow intake once before and had to grind in the dizzy housing a little and make a few notches in the lower intake for clearance
