timing bump....throttle stuck

Ok guys, i finally did the timing bump. Went an 1/8th inch, but the problem is that my throttle is catching n the main fuel line now, since the fuel line is pinched between the head and the pump. I didn't wanna try and bend the fuel line out of the way, until i talked to you guys first...is there a trick to this? I searched and didn't see anyone else run into this problem.

I had to bend my supply line when I movement the throttle linkage and removed the high idle screw. Mine is a little different though because it is intercooled. Can you take a picture to help show exactly what is going on.
