Problems with Wiland Stealth intake with Holley 750 cfm 4160 carb

Has anyone else had a problem with the fast idle adjustment screw scrapping the side of the manifold? I ground the side of the manifold down so it doesn't do it anymore. I was just wanted to know if I am hooking it up wrong or if there is some sort of defect? Thank you for your help.

I know a lot of FE manifolds won't fit four barrel carb without using a thicker carb spacer/gasket. My 460 has a Holley 4bbl with the factory intake and factory spacer. The carb won't operate properly, the linkages hit the manifold.

I just fixed it tonight. I just took a grinder and took a little off the side of the manifold, but thanks anyway for your reply.
