Default Doesn't fit my Pontiac

So it came in yesterday and I tried it on my housing and the holes are too far apart on the Mr. Gasket part. I suppose I could try to machine out the holes in the Mr. Gasket part, because those don't need to be sealed. My bolt holes, the one is blind and the other goes all the way through to the bottom of the intake, neither go into the coolant. I am pretty sure, I will double check later today. Only concern would be not having that built up seal around bolt holes could cause housing to warp by pulling down on mounting ears.
