Need Help Trying to Hand Crank my TR3

I am trying to figure out why the hand crank on my 1957 TR3 (smallmouth) does
not meet exactly with the engine. It seems that the tip of the crank meets the
engine slightly (maybe 1/2 inch) on the high side when passing through the
crank guide. I know my description of the problem may be a little confusing,
but is there an adjustment that can make the crank work or is it something I
have to live with?

I borrowed a crank from a club member with a similar car (and his crank works
on his car) and found that the problem was my car, not the crank.
