V8 in a 63

I put the engine in the car without the distributor in it but I had the distributor whole blocked off or covered up. then I worked on pulling the firewall area back that was intrusive to hitting the distributor and I would test fit it by dropping in distributor in to see how much more I needed to go. Partial bump was still there and wipers still hooked up and worked fine.
Cool i was just wanting to find out before i started working on mine,Did it mess up the paint or anything like that i just didn't won't to cut that out and have to fix it.Thank's very much.........
