Help- mismatched cam and timing cover

[Daveyjonez]

Whelp, I thought I had everything perfectlyF1F0EA39-583D-4010-BFEF-681C04DBDE1C.jpg planned, my Flathead newbie status was just exposed. It appears as though the I have a long snout cam and my 2 bolt timing cover won’t allow the distributor to index properly. I don’t want to swap cams. I guess I can put a 3 bolt cover on it, and use the adapter to convert to 2 bolt distributor, does someone make an adapter for a long cam with a 2 bolt cover?? I blew it!
