I had to enlarge the hole with my Dremel.  No big deal; i guess there
is a cerain inexactness with both BL's machining from dizzie to
dizzie.

My idle increased, timing was spot on (before and after Pertronix was
fitted) so I adjusted via the idle screws on the carbs.  I figure that
the Pertronix was giving me more "efficient" combustion at idle, hence
more power, hence more rpm for the same amount of fuel.  Works for me.
