Problems with the RPM Air-Gap...

I have the Edelbrock Air-Gap manifold, and I'm having problems installing the oil pressure sensor. For some stupid reason, Edelbrock decided to cast 2 distributor hold-down platforms on this intake instead of the 1 on all their other manifolds. This useless extra platform doesn't allow for enough room to install the sensor. What did you guys who have this intake do to solve this problem? I'd like to avoid grinding it if at all possible. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

go to your local welding shop and get a brass fitting

that will allow you to raise the op sensor. Carry it with you and they will help you find the right one.
