For clearance I have used Chevy/Small block Ford adjustable roller rocker arm adjusting nuts as they are round at the bottom and a 5/8 hex at the top and are over an inch tall. They may fit without machining the manifold.
My manifold is one of the early ones made in CA over a decade ago. It has larger tubes with thin walls so milling would open a hole in the tube.
