I don't remember if there was supposed to be a gap or not, but it's less important how close your ATI crank mounts to the stock GM crank, as it is how it lines up with the S/C pully. First off, did you clean the $hit out of the inside rim of your stock GM crank pully? The ATI crank pully sits against that so it's a very good idea to thoroughly clean that and when you think it's perfectly clean, clean just a little more to be sure. that way the ATI crank pully will sit flush and spin without wobbling. next you need to figure out how it lines up with your S/C pully. Scott from SDCE suggested getting a cheap metal ruler(or flat edge). Cut it down to about 5-6"s and then cut the two ends at 45* angles. It needs to be in a trapazoid shape(sort of like a speed bump with straight sides, if that's any clearer). then use the point of the ruler to line up the ribs. Use washers of different thicknesses to pull the S/C and S/C pully in and out to get proper lineup.
You'll be set then. Good luck bro.

Yeah that area is perfectly flat. I think the problem is that this pulley has obvious signs of spinning inside the crank pulley (I bought it used from Buschman). I think the actually area that protrudes down to sit on the stock crank has been shortened from the spinning. So, the side walls of that ati pulley that slope up are now in contact with the stock crank pulley.
