firecore distributor issues

first time i tried my new firecore distributor car ran rough ,pulled it and found chewd up reluctor blades, put in new reluctor, gaps were 008 to 014, still ran rough, yanked it and put MP dizzy back in, tried firecore again yesterday,same. upon closer inspection found one blade was hitting magnetic pickup 1/4 in. before contact point, is someting bent in there or is my new reluctor a POS? 318 motor and yes the reluctor is installed properly
