Fred, I don't think it's a good idea to file the distributor body. That gap limits the movement of the spark advance to correct specs. If the upper plate arm is hitting the disributor body, the problem lies with the position of the spark rod, and that's what needs to be corrected. Allowing the spark rod to move too much by filing the body can have a detrimental effect on your timing, and ultimately potentially on your main bearings.
