Doug at ERA indicated the tanks are pretty tough and can be "tweaked" with a pry bar enough to move it away from the distributor cap. Tweaking it a bit would make it look every so slightly crooked. Although I'm probably the only one who would every notice it, my preference was to use a spacer to move the entire tank out a bit. I took the easy way out since I don't have the proper tools for metal fabrication and ERA made a 3/8" spacer for me.
Let me know if photos would help - not sure what path you're taking with this.
Regards,

Hi Kevin
I suspect you are discussing an MSD distrib & cap? I'm using a stock Ford dual point and I have enough room on mine. The tank was off of an older ERA car I believe, but I don't think it's an ERA tank.
thanks
Dan
